Stepped quenching, another name for marquenching, is a regulated heat treatment procedure that reduces distortion and cracking while hardening. After being heated to the austenitizing temperature, the components are quenched in a medium that is kept slightly above the martensite start temperature. This achieves high hardness and strength while lowering internal stress through more consistent cooling and transformation. Our marquenching services provide superior dimensional stability, mechanical performance, and enhanced structural integrity, making them perfect for intricate or highly precise parts like gears, dies, and tool components.
