2. We have noted that how TTT and CCT diagrams can help us design heat treatments to
design the microstructure of steels and hence engineer the properties. In some cases a
gradation in properties may be desired (usually from the surface to the interior- a hard
surface with a ductile/tough interior/bulk).
In general three kinds of treatments are: (i) Thermal (heat treatment), (ii) Mechanical
(working), (iii) Chemical (alteration of composition). A combination of these treatments are
also possible (e.g. thermo-mechanical treatments, thermo-chemical treatments).
The treatment may affect the whole sample or only the surface.
A typical industrial treatment cycle may be complicated with many steps (i.e. a
combination of the simple steps which are outlined in the chapter).

Details are in the coming slides.
5. Full Annealing
The purpose of this heat treatment is to obtain a material with high ductility. A
microstructure with coarse pearlite (i.e. pearlite having high interlamellar spacing) is
endowed with such properties.
The range of temperatures used is given in the figure below.
The steel is heated above A3 (for hypo-eutectoid steels) & A1 (for hyper-eutectoid steels) → (hold) → then the
steel is furnace cooled to obtain Coarse Pearlite.
Coarse Pearlite has low (↓) Hardness but high (↑) Ductility.
For hyper-eutectoid steels the heating is not done above Acm to avoid a continuous network of
proeutectoid cementite along prior Austenite grain boundaries (presence of cementite along grain boundaries
provides easy path for crack propagation).

Recrystallization Annealing
During any cold working operation (say cold rolling), the material becomes harder (due to
work hardening), but loses its ductility. This implies that to continue deformation the
material needs to be recrystallized (wherein strain free grains replace the ‘cold worked
grains’).
Hence, recrystallization annealing is used as an intermediate step in (cold) deformation
processing.
To achieve this the sample is heated below A1 and held there for sufficient time for
recrystallization to be completed.

Stress Relief Annealing
Due to various processes like quenching (differential cooling of surface and interior),
machining, phase transformations (like martensitic transformation), welding, etc. the residual
stresses develop in the sample. Residual stress can lead to undesirable effects like warpage of
the component.
The annealing is carried out just below A1 , wherein ‘recovery*’ processes are active
(Annihilation of dislocations, polygonization).
* It is to be noted that ‘recovery’ is a technical term.

Spheroidization
This is a very specific heat treatment given to high carbon steel requiring extensive
machining prior to final hardening & tempering. The main purpose of the treatment is to
increase the ductility of the sample.
Like stress relief annealing the treatment is done just below A1.
Long time heating leads cementite plates to form cementite spheroids. The driving force for
this (microstructural) transformation is the reduction in interfacial energy.
9. NORMALIZING
Refine grain structure prior to hardening
To harden the steel slightly
To reduce segregation in casting or forgings
Purposes
The sample is heat above A3 | Acm to complete Austenization. The sample is then air cooled
to obtain Fine pearlite. Fine pearlite has a reasonably good hardness and ductility.
In hypo-eutectoid steels normalizing is done 50°
C above the annealing temperature.
In hyper-eutectoid steels normalizing done above Acm → due to faster cooling cementite does
not form a continuous film along GB.
The list of uses of normalizing are listed below.

10. HARDENING
Heat above A3 | Acm → Austenization → Quench (higher than critical cooling rate)
The sample is heated above A3 | Acm to cause Austenization. The sample is then quenched at a
cooling rate higher than the critical cooling rate (i.e. to avoid the nose of the CCT diagram).
The quenching process produces residual strains (thermal, phase transformation).
The transformation to Martensite is usually not complete and the sample will have some
retained Austenite.
The Martensite produced is hard and brittle and tempering operation usually follows
hardening. This gives a good combination of strength and toughness.

Note that apart from the nature of the
quenching medium, the vigorousness of the
shake determines the severity of the quench.
When a hot solid is put into a liquid
medium, gas bubbles form on the surface of
the solid (interface with medium). As gas
has a poor conductivity the quenching rate is
reduced. Providing agitation (shaking the
solid in the liquid) helps in bringing the
liquid medium in direct contact with the
solid; thus improving the heat transfer (and
the cooling rate). The H value/index
compares the relative ability of various
media (gases and liquids) to cool a hot solid.
Ideal quench is a conceptual idea with a heat
transfer factor of ∞ (⇒ H = ∞).

Before we proceed further we note that we have a variety of quenching media at our

‘H’ factor (defined below), with an ideal quench having a H-value of ∞.

12. Through hardening of the sample
Schematic showing variation
in cooling rate from surface
to interior leading to
different microstructures
The surface of is affected by the quenching medium and experiences the best possible
cooling rate. The interior of the sample is cooled by conduction through the (hot) sample and
hence experiences a lower cooling rate. This implies that different parts of the same sample
follow different cooling curves on a CCT diagram and give rise to different microstructures.
This gives to a varying hardness from centre to circumference. Critical diameter (dc) is that
diameter, which can be through hardened (i.e. we obtain 50% Martensite and 50% pearlite at
the centre of the sample).

15. Q & A How to increase
hardenability?
Hardenability should not be confused with the ability to obtain high hardness. A material
with low hardenability may have a higher surface hardness compared to another sample
with higher hardenability.
A material with a high hardenability can be cooled relatively slowly to produce 50%
martensite (& 50% pearlite). A material with a high hardenability has the ‘nose’ of the CCT
curve ‘far’ to the right (i.e. at higher times). Such a material can be through hardened easily.

C, 0.78% Mn, 1.79% Ni, 0.80% Cr,
0.33% Mo)
U.S.S. Carilloy Steels, United States
Steel Corporation, Pittsburgh, 1948)
Hardenability of plain carbon steel can increased by
alloying with most elements (it is to be noted that this is
an added advantage as alloying is usually done to
improve other properties).
However, alloying gives two separate ‘C-curves’ for
Pearlitic and Bainitic transformations (e.g. figure to the
right).
This implies that the ‘nose’ of the Bainitic
transformation has to be avoided to get complete
Martensite on quenching.
16. Tempering
A sample with martensitic microstructure is hard but brittle. Hence after quenching the
sample (or component) is tempered. Maternsite being a metastable phase decomposes to
ferrite and cementite on heating (providing thermal activation).
Tempering is carried out just below the eutectoid temperature (heat → wait→ slow cool).
In reality the microstructural changes which take place during tempering are very complex.
The time temperature cycle for tempering is chosen so as to optimize strength and
toughness. E.g. tool steel has a as quenched hardness of Rc65, which is tempered to get a
hardness of Rc45-55.

MARTEMPERING & AUSTEMPERING
These processes have been developed to avoid residual stresses generated during quenching.
In both these processes Austenized steel is quenched above Ms (say to a temperature T1) for
homogenization of temperature across the sample.
In Martempering the steel is then quenched and the entire sample transforms simultaneously
to martensite. This is followed by tempering.
In Austempering instead of quenching the sample, it is held at T1 for it to transform to
bainite.
