Which of the following processes follows the hardening process for reducing the hardening strains & increasing the toughness of the steel part ?

Correct answer: B. Tempering

  • A. Anodising
  • B. Tempering
  • C. Carburising
  • D. Annealing

Explanation

Tempering follows hardening and reheats the steel to a controlled lower temperature, relieving internal stresses and improving toughness. Annealing softens and relieves stress but is not specifically the usual follow-up to hardening.
