A New Step Heat Treatment for Steel AISI 4340

New modes of isothermal and step quenching of steel AISI 4340, which provide a combination of maximum strength, elongation and impact energy, are suggested. The recommended modes of heat treatment are applicable to any high-strength steel, are compatible with thermomechanical treatment, reduce the c...

More Information
Summary:New modes of isothermal and step quenching of steel AISI 4340, which provide a combination of maximum strength, elongation and impact energy, are suggested. The recommended modes of heat treatment are applicable to any high-strength steel, are compatible with thermomechanical treatment, reduce the consumption of power, and make it possible to lower the mass of large parts.
