Effects of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Low-carbon Microalloyed Steels

In this study, the effect of cooling rate and heat treatment on the microstructural and mechanical characteristics such as microhardness of low-carbon microalloyed steel was investigated by means of optical microscopy and Vickers hardness tests. The cooling rates were controlled by introducing air-c...
