You heat treat to improve the molecular structure of the steel. In the untreated state steel is very soft and is relatively easy to bend but when hardened the steel become very hard and brittle. The steel is so brittle after hardening that if say dropped on a concrete floor it may shatter. Tempering relieves some of this stress and makes the steel hard but not too hard.

If you have your IFAK available to treat an Airman suffering from a heat emergency Which item will you most likely utilize to treat the victim?
Ceralyte IFAKs are used to treat trauma. Use your canteen and the water in it to treat a heat emergency. The item you will most definitely use is the airman's water supply. If the guy is in heat exhaustion or heat cramps you have him drink the water and pour some on him. If he's in heat stroke you need to put him on IV fluid replacement and pour water on him but, if he's capable of drinking, you can have him drink too. To treat a heat emergency you treat for shock and get the troop's body temperature down. There's nothing in an IFAK (which is made to treat bleeding and no-breathing problems, not heat emergencies) that will do either, but if you were to pour the contents of your 2-quart canteen over the troop, you'd reduce his body temperature.
