DISCUSSION
1. Cooling Rate Hardness Relation
Diagram 1
Diagram 2
In diagram 2, the Continuous Cooling
Transformation Diagram, Curve X represents
a rate of cooling during a normalizing (air
cooling) process. Transformation of unstable
austenite beings at K and ends at N, with
fine pearlite produced. A faster cooling rate
will expose the steel longer between the 2
curves and more unstable austenite will be
CONCLUSION
This experiment well illustrates the effect of
cooling rates on the microstructures as well as
hardness of a specimen. By changing the cooling
rates of carbon steel, we can control and alter
the microstructure of the material. This in turn
gives us the desired mechanical properties for
the materials specific purpose.
