Complete Guide to Steel Hardening Process | Quenching and Case hardening Heat treatment process

Understanding the steel hardening process is extremely important for a mechanical design engineer. In this video, I explain everything about steel hardening, including what hardening is and how to measure hardness using various scales like Rockwell hardness (HRC, HRB), Vickers hardness, and Brinell hardness. I also cover different methods of hardening steel, such as water quenching and oil quenching, as well as case hardening techniques like flame hardening, induction hardening, carburizing, and nitriding.
Additionally, I discuss the phases of steel hardening, how to select the appropriate hardening process, and choosing the right steel grade for different applications like tooling and sliding components.
