Abstract

The effect of various heat treatment operations (annealing, normalizing and hardening) on mechanical properties of medium carbon steel was investigated. The samples were prepared and heat-treated at 770 ºC subsequently was cooled by different quenching media. The mechanical properties of the treated and untreated samples were determined using standard methods. Results showed that the mechanical properties of carbon steel can be changed and improved by various heat treatments. It was also found that the annealed samples has the lowest tensile strength and hardness value and highest ductility, while hardened samples has the highest tensile strength and hardness value and lowest ductility value.
