Chain Hardening and Tempering

Objective
Hardening a chain at a rate of 0.16″ – 26″ (4 mm – 0.66 m) per minute at 1580˚F (860˚C) then tempering at a rate of 0.31″ – 36″ (8 mm – 0.92 M) per minute at 400˚F (204˚C), for an overall productivity rate of hardening 0.16″ – 26 lbs (4 mm – 12 kg) per hour and tempering 0.31″ – 163 lbs (8 mm – 74 kg) per hour.
