Question

Heat treatment of steel ________ .

A.

is effective when the carbon percentage is lower than 0.8%.

B.

can be used to change the carbon percentage.

C.

involves heating steel to a temperature above melting point and then cooling.

D.

cannot be used to relieve local stresses and strains.

Answer ( Option C)

involves heating steel to a temperature above melting point and then cooling.

Solution

Heat treatment of steels involves hearting steel to a temperature above melting point and then cooling to change their physical and mechanical properties, without any change dimensions.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

&Key Points:-

Different heat treatment process of steel are:

Annealing : Heating below recrystallization temperature and then slowly cooling steel to refine it and make it softer.

Carburizing : Adding carbon to the surface with heat and carbon rich substances.

Tempering : Reheating steel that has already been cooled to a specific temperature to remove hardness.
