Conclusions
-
1.
Double improvement prevents crystalline fracture. A matte fracture is possible even for steel with a preliminary hardness of HRC 40 if the concentration of carbides is fairly high.
-
2.
There is no consistent relationship between the type of fracture and the austenite grain size. There is a critical value of the austenite grain size at which crystalline facets appear in the fracture.
