Treatments that harden, soften, coat or shape steel after it has been made, together with continuous casting and rolling. A member belongs here when the cited article describes it as a steel hardening, coating or forming treatment. The group is one of the groupings under this field in the Technology Atlas, and each member keeps its own entry with its own cited sources and its own place in the field. Its members appear in the Browse By view for the field, so a reader can move from this group to each member entry and to the sources cited there.

In materials science, quenching is the rapid cooling of a workpiece in water, gas, oil, polymer, air, or other fluids to obtain certain material properties.
Case-hardening (Wikipedia)
Wikipedia contributors, Wikimedia FoundationHas Member: Case Hardening, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Case Hardening, Introduction
Case-hardening or carburization is the process of introducing carbon to the surface of a low-carbon iron, or more commonly a low-carbon steel object, to harden the surface.
Electro-slag remelting (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Electroslag Remelting, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Electroslag Remelting, Introduction
Electroslag remelting (ESR), also known as electro-flux remelting, is a process of remelting and refining steel and other alloys for mission-critical applications in aircraft, thermal power stations, nuclear power plants, military technology and others.
Continuous Casting (Wikipedia)
Wikipedia contributors, Wikimedia FoundationHas Member: Continuous Casting, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Continuous Casting, Introduction
Continuous casting, also called strand casting, is the process whereby molten metal is solidified into a "semifinished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills.
Rolling (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Rolling, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Rolling, Introduction
Rolling is a type of motion that combines rotation (commonly, of an axially symmetric object) and translation of that object with respect to a surface (either one or the other moves), such that, if ideal conditions exist, the two are in contact with each other without sliding.
