Tempering is applied to quench hardened plain carbon steel to:

1. reduce brittleness.

2. increase ductility.

3. increase toughness.

4. relieve stresses in the martensite structure.

Increase in tempering temperature lowers the hardness. The reduction in hardness of the quenched steel depends upon the composition of the alloy and the exact value of the temperature applied.

How to quench carbon monoxide produced from a reactor?

One method to quench carbon monoxide produced from a reactor is to pass the gas through a scrubber containing a suitable reagent, such as hydrogen or water, that can react with and convert the carbon monoxide to a less harmful compound. Another approach is to use a catalytic converter that promotes the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Both methods help reduce the concentration of carbon monoxide in the gas stream to safe levels.
