certain temperature‚ then it is slowly cooled. First‚ the steel is heated at a temperature of about 16000F (8710C) for a certain amount of time (“Annealing of Tool Steel”). During annealing‚ ferrite‚ which is pure iron‚ turns into austenite‚ another type of iron (“Full Annealing”). The heating time is dependent upon the size of the specimen to be annealed‚ which is about two hours per inch thickness of the specimen (“Annealing of Tool Steel”). After the metal is heated for the desired amount of time

Title: Heat Treatment of Ferrous Objective: To determine the effect of heat treatment on mechanical properties of 1050 Steel. To reveal the microstructures of 1050 steel during heat treatments. Abstract In this experiment‚ we observed how the properties of plain carbon steel vary with the heat treatment condition. We prepared six different samples in three different heat treatment configurations and performed hardness tests on them by using the Rockwell tester and observed the microscopic
