I need help to write a nice introduction for experiment 6
please ( no hands write ) typing
Thank you
HEAT TREATMENT OF STEELS EXPERIMENT 6 EXPERIMENT 6 HEAT TREATMENT OF STEELS THEORY The Effect of Cooling Rate One of the most convenient methods for controlling the properties of a given steel, i.e., a steel whose composition is already fixed, consists of austenizing the steel and ten cooling to room temperature at some predetermined rate. A variation of cooling rates...
