Heat Treatment Processes Hardening. Hardening involves heating of steel, keeping it at an appropriate temperature until all pearlite is transformed into austenite, and then quenching it rapidly in water or oil. The temperature at which austentizing rapidly takes place depends upon the carbon content in the steel used.
Heat is typically used on chronic (older than 4-6 weeks) injuries and pain. Moist heat is more effective than dry heat because it penetrates more deeply, which increases the effect on muscles, joints, and soft tissue. Moist heat is typically applied using moist hot packs that are stored in a hydroculator at 160 degrees. A moist heat treatment usually lasts for 15 to 20 minutes.
