(1) A hardening procedure in which an austenitized ferrous workpiece is quenched into an appropriate medium whose temperature is maintained substantially at the Ms of the workpiece, held in the medium until its temperature is uniform throughout–but not long enough to permit bainite to form–and then cooled in air.

| Temper embrittlement | 回火脆化 |
Brittleness that results when certain steels are held within, or are cooled slowly through, a certain range of temperature below the transformation range.

The anomalous reduction in toughness of martensitic stainless steels when tempered in the range 370–600°C. Embrittlement of alloy steels caused by holding within or cooling slowly through a temperature range just below the transformation range. Embrittlement is the result of the segregation at grain boundaries of impurities such as arsenic, antimony, phosphorus, and tin; it is usually manifested as an upward shift in ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. Temper embrittlement can be reversed by retempering above the critical temperature range, then cooling rapidly. 当某些钢保持在低于转变范围的某一温度范围内或缓慢冷却时产生的脆性。脆性表现为延性到脆性转变温度的向上移动，但在脆性材料的平滑棒材拉伸试验中，很少产生较小的面积减小值。马氏体不锈钢在370–600°C范围内回火时的韧性异常降低。合金钢的脆化是由于在低于转变范围的温度范围内保持或缓慢冷却而引起的。脆化是杂质（如砷、锑、磷和锡）在晶界处偏析的结果；它通常表现为韧脆转变温度的上升。回火脆化可以通过在临界温度范围以上重新回火，然后快速冷却来逆转。 |
