Quench and Tempered Bars

Gerdau's quench and tempered bars are produced through an advanced induction heat treating and proprietary quench process that treats each bar 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.
