The Laboratory Experiments Regarding the Intercritical Heat Treatments Applied an the Low-Alloyed Steel

Abstract

The paper presents the research results regarding the influence of the intercritical thermal treatments carried out on some hypoeutectoid steel castings. The purpose of this research at the laboratory scale is to measure the effect of the thermal treatment which precedes the intercritical thermal treatment as well as to establish the optimum experimental variant in order to replace the classical thermal treatments.
