Tempering:
It is a heat treatment process. It is used to make metals tough. It is done by
heating steel at a temperature range of about 150 to 250 Degree centigrade. Then
it is cooled at a slow rate.
This makes the hard steel to get soften.
See this diagram.

similar to tempering with only difference that we have rapid cooling.

Austempering is an isothermal heat treatment that is applied to ferrous metals,

most notably steel and ductile iron. In steel it produces a lower Bainite
microstructure whereas in cast irons it produces a structure of acicular ferrite and
high carbon, stabilized Austenite known as ausferrite. It is primarily used to
improve mechanical properties. Austempering is defined by both the process and
the resultant microstructure . Typical austempering process parameters applied to
an unsuitable material will not result in the formation of Bainite or ausferrite and
thusly the final product will not be called austempered. both microstructures may
also be produced via other methods. for example, they may be produced as-cast or
air cooled with the proper alloy content. These materials are also not referred to as
austempered.

Knurling is conducted on a lathe, for getting a visually-attractive diamond-shaped

(criss-cross) pattern by cutting or rolling into metal. This pattern allows hands or
fingers to get a better grip on the knurled object than would be provided by the
originally-smooth metal surface.

Close-up shot of a diamond-pattern knurling on a cylindric work piece. Knurling method: left/right with tips raised (DIN 82 name:
RGE), spiral angle: 30, pitch: 1 mm, profile angle: 90. Object's diameter: 24 mm, material: aluminium (silver anodised).

NORMALISING:
it is a heat treatment process which is used to relieve internal stresses and refining
the grain size which improve the mechanical properties. In this process after
heating the metal it is cooled in still air to room temperature.
QUENCHING:
In quenching the metal is cooled rapidly in cold water. It is used to increase the
toughness of the metal or alloys.

@ Yadavundertaker: By the way metals like steel gets hardened and not toughened
by quenching. Correct me if I am wrong.
Hobbing: It is a process of making gears and similar objects. It can be done on a
standard milling machine or a special hobbing machine.
In our workshop practicals we used milling machine.

Nowadays every one is talking about pressure vessels. So let us define pressure
vessel
Pressure vessel is a cylindrical container to hold fluids at a high pressure. They are
generally boilers or even cooking gas cylinders. It is as simple as that.
Now see this big one.

Why pressure vessels or gas cylinders are made cylindrical in shape?(mostly asked
interview question)
because at sharp edges there will be a very high pressure concentration which
result in explosion of the container. Thats why we have cylindrical shapes.
