Similarly, repeated austenitisation and normal-air cooling produces ferrite grain sizes between 17 μm and 12 μm; while repeated austenitisation and forced-air cooling produces a minimum grain size of 9.5 μm. Furnace cooling decomposes the austenite eutectoidally to lamellar pearlite; while normal-air cooling and forced-air cooling after austenitisation cause degeneration of pearlite regions producing grain boundary network as well as cluster of cementite and other carbides. Forced-air cooled samples provide the highest YS (364 MPa) and UTS (520 MPa); while furnace cooling provides the lowest (290 MPa and 464 MPa) leaving the normal-air cool performance in between. Hardness values depict the role of individual ferrite and pearlite content and the extent of pearlite degeneration occurring after each cyclic treatment.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Effect of Repeated Austenitisation and Cooling on the Microstructure, Hardness and Tensile Behaviour of 0.16 wt % Carbon Steel}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/107990/AMM-2018-3-10-Mondal.pdf}, doi={10.24425/123787}, keywords={Ferrite grain size, Pearlite degeneration, hardness, tensile behaviour}, }
