Ausforming

Ausforming, also known as low and high temperature thermomechanical treatments, is a method used to increase the hardness and toughness of an alloy by simultaneously tempering, rapid cooling, deforming and quenching to change its shape and refine the microstructure.^[1] This treatment is an important part in the processing of steel.^[2]

Iron and steel production

Iron production
(Ironworks)

Smelting	Bloomery (produces sponge iron) Blast furnace (produces pig iron) Cold blast Hot blast Anthracite iron Direct reduced iron
Secondary	Wrought iron (via Finery forge or Reverberatory Puddling Furnace) Cast iron (via Cupola furnace or Induction furnace)

Steelmaking
(Steel mill)

Primary (Pre-1850)	Pattern welding Crucible steel (Damascus steel) Tatara furnace Cementation process
Primary (Post-1850)	Bessemer process Open hearth furnace Electric arc furnace Basic oxygen process
Secondary	Electro-slag remelting Vacuum arc remelting Argon oxygen decarburization

Heat treatment methods

Annealing	Low hydrogen Short circuit
Hardening / Case-hardening	Ausforming Boriding Carbonitriding Carburizing Cryogenic Ferritic nitrocarburizing Induction Nitriding Precipitation Quench polish quench
Tempering	Austempering Martempering
Cryogenic treatment (Deburring Deflashing Hardening) Differential heat treatment Decarburization Forming gas Post weld heat treatment Quenching Superplastic forming
