Continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams of steel are the basis to determine the optimum heat treatment technology. Combined with metallography, the CCT diagram of medium–high carbon spring steel 60Si2CrA was obtained by dilatometric measurement at cooling rates from 0.5 to 50 K/s. It is fou...
