Btw:
Steel is an iron-carbon-alloy with up to 2% carbon.
Hardening (German: Härten) is the process of transforming the homogeneous 
structure of steel to an Martensitic structure which is very strong and 
brittle. This is done by heating the steel to the Austenitic temperature 
and quenching it in oil, water or any other media (which cools down the 
steel faster than its critical cooling rate).

From this I'd translate it to "annähern" (annealing rate = 
Annäherungsgeschwindigkeit oder -kurve) which is converge/approach in English.
