Effect Of Annealing On Microstructure And Mechanical Properties Of 0.06% Carbon Steel

The present study is aimed to examine the microstructure and mechanical properties of low-carbon (0.06% C) steel against several heat treatment and cold worked processes. The process was started with three different heat treatments; Air Cooling (AC), Ice-Water Quenching (IWQ), and Step Quenching (SQ...
