Conclusions
-
1.
In quenched high-carbon alloyed and unalloyed steels 9KhS and U12 and also in high-speed steels R18 and R9 the bending strength increases with the aging time, reaches a maximum, and then decreases.
-
2.
Excess heating does not increase the effect of aging in high-carbon steel.
-
3.
Quench-aging is a particular case of creep under the influence of internal first-order stresses. At low stresses the weakening processes develop slowly and in the first period of aging are overshadowed by the hardening resulting from structural transformations.
