2. Tempering (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

   Very few metals react to heat treatment in the same manner, or to the same extent, that carbon steel does, and carbon-steel heat-treating behavior can vary radically depending on alloying elements. Steel can be softened to a very malleable state through annealing, or it can be hardened to a state as hard and brittle as glass by quenching.

3. Continuous cooling transformation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_cooling...

   There are two types of continuous cooling diagrams drawn for practical purposes. Type 1: This is the plot beginning with the transformation start point, cooling with a specific transformation fraction and ending with a transformation finish temperature for all products against transformation time for each cooling curve.

4. Annealing (materials science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(materials_science)

   This process is mainly suited for low-carbon steel. The material is heated up to a temperature just below the lower critical temperature of steel. Cold-worked steel normally tends to possess increased hardness and decreased ductility, making it difficult to work. Process annealing tends to improve these characteristics.

5. Isothermal transformation diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_transformation...

   TTT diagram of isothermal transformations of a hypoeutectoid carbon steel; showing the main components obtained when cooling the steel and its relation with the Fe-C phase diagram of carbon steels. Austenite is slightly undercooled when quenched below Eutectoid temperature. When given more time, stable microconstituents can form: ferrite and ...

6. Abrasion resistant steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasion_resistant_steel

   Abrasion resistant steel undergoes a two-step heat treatment process called quenching and tempering, which alters the steel's grain structure to increase hardness and toughness. [2] During the quenching phase, the steel is heated to an above-critical temperature and is then rapidly cooled with water.

7. Heat treating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_treating

   Steel castings after undergoing 12-hour 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) heat treatment. Complex heat treating schedules, or "cycles", are often devised by metallurgists to optimize an alloy's mechanical properties. In the aerospace industry, a superalloy may undergo five or more different heat treating operations to develop the desired properties.
