Hardness, Hardenability & Heat Treatment of Mild and Low-Alloy Steels
Posted on March 31, 2018
Sometimes the physical properties of hardness and hardenability are confused. Hardness represents an existing condition after processing by heat treatment. It is a direct indicator of the mechanical strength of the steel. Hardenability denotes the potential of a steel to develop a particular value of hardness after a particular heat treatment. Hardenability is primarily dependent […]
