    - The process of patenting is similar to austempering process. It differs in the range of temperature used for isothermal transformation.

    - In this process, austenized steel is quenched in molten bath furnace and is maintained at temperature above or below the nose of TTT curve.

    - Till the transformation is completed this temperature is maintained and later cooled to room temperature. Pearlite is obtained by the transformation of austenite.
