In heat treatment, reheating hardened steel or hardened cast iron to some temperature below the eutectoid temperature and cooling at any rate desired, for the purpose of decreasing hardness and increasing toughness. A reduction in strength and increase in ductility properties of the material generally results. The process also is sometimes applied to normalized steel.
