Question 1

Question
The purpose of heat treatment of carbon steel is
Answer
  • To soften the carbon steel prior to shaping and machining
  • To relieve the residual stresses from strain hardening that occurs during cold forming

Question 3

Question
Cooling down austenite by moderate cooling rate forms
Answer
  • Cementite

  • Bainite
  • Martensite

Question 4

Question
Carbon steel tempering should take place
Answer
  • Prior to quenching
