   What are the different types of tempers?

   • Tempers such as Soft, 1/4 Hard, 1/2 Hard, 3/4 Hard, and Full Hard are produced by compressing flat stainless steel under very high pressures between two rolls, which flatten and elongate the material. This increases the material surface’s tensile strength and yield strength. Soft tempers contain no spring back, due to the annealing process.
