Quench and Tempered Bars
Gerdau's Quench and Tempered products are produced through an advanced induction heat treating and proprietary quench process that treats each bar or tube individually. The process adds strength and improves resistance to impact and abrasion. Gerdau's quench and tempered bars and tubes enable customers to machine distortion-free parts, eliminate production processes, such as stress relieving or straightening, and save money. Quench and tempering can be done to all heat treatable grades of carbon, alloy, and stainless steel bars, ranging from 12' (3.7m) to 34' (10.4m) in length, and tubes ranging from 12' (3.7m) to 55' (16.8m).
