Effect of carbon and nitrogen on hardening and embrittlement of low-carbon steel during aging

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    With increasing concentrations of carbon and nitrogen in normal interstitial positions the rate of hardening increases during quench and strain aging. The effect of this concentration on hardening during quench aging is larger than during strain aging.

  2. 2.

    There is a correlational variation of C0 and the rate of hardening during strain aging of steels with different original structures.

  3. 3.

    The factors considered here (changes in the original structure, etc.) have a special effect on the degree of embrittlement during aging, which frequently weakens the relationship between C0 and the ductile and toughness characteristics.
