Effects of Heat Treatment on the Mechanical Properties of Rolled Medium Carbon Steel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Investigations were carried out to study the effects of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of rolled medium carbon steel. The steel was heated to the austenizing temperature of 830C and water quenched; It was reheated to the ferrite – austenite two phase region at a temperature of 745C below the effective Ac3 point. The steel was then rapidly quenched in water and tempered at 480C to provide an alloy containing strong, tough, lath martensite (fibres) in a ductile soft ferrite matrix. The result shows that the steel developed has excellent combination of tensile strength, impact strength and ductility which is very attractive for structural use.

Enhancement of mechanical properties of low carbon steel based on heat treatment and thermo-mechanical processing routes
Thermal treatments and thermo-mechanical processing routes were applied on a conventional structural steel (st37 steel: 0.12C-1.11Mn-0.16Si) for improvement of tensile properties and enhancement of work-hardening behavior. Full annealing resulted in a sheet with coarse ferrite grains and pearlite colonies arranged alternatively in distinct bands, which showed high ductility, low strength, and t...
