Temper Passing
The Temper Passing process at Heidtman Steel enhances the strength, flatness, and surface quality of steel to meet the most demanding requirements. By reducing internal stresses and refining surface texture, our tempering process ensures steel that performs consistently and looks exceptional.
About This Process
Temper Passing is a steel processing method that involves light cold rolling to improve the material’s surface quality, flatness, and mechanical properties. This process reduces internal stresses and eliminates surface imperfections, resulting in steel that is not only stronger but also smoother and more consistent—ready for applications demanding precision and reliability.
- Increases steel’s strength and hardness through controlled rolling.
- Improves flatness, reducing waviness and coil set for uniform results.
- Enhances surface quality, creating a smoother, more uniform finish.
- Ideal for applications requiring high-performance and aesthetic appeal.
