Metal Alloys: Their Structure Strengthening by Heat Treatment Part 2 Chapter 4 Heat treatment of ferrous alloys (4.7) Heat-treatment techniques: the controlled heating and cooling of alloys at various rates Phase transformations: greatly influence the mechanical properties Strength Hardness Ductility Toughness Wear resistance Iron-carbon system microstructural changes Pearlite Spheroidite Bainite Martensite Pearlite Course pearlite Slow rate of cooling As in a furnace Fine pearlite High rate of cooling As in air (fig.4.11) Spheroidite Higher toughness Lower hardness Can be cold worked
