Abstract
The aim of this work is to study the influence of tempering temperature on the microstructure and hardness of a hypoeutectoid steel (0.38% C). This steel was previously water-quenched from its austenitizing temperature and then subjected to different tempering temperatures (from 100 to 700 C) for a fixed holding time. Analysis of the microstructure and Vickers hardness allowed us to observe the microstructural and mechanical changes occurring during the tempering treatment. As the temperature increases, the hardness decreases.
Keywords:Hypoeutectoid steel; Tempering temperature; Microstructure; Hardness
