Conclusions

  1. 1.

    A heat treatment for 85 spring steel (harden or normalize from 1000°C, reharden with heating to 840–870°C at a rate of 5 deg/sec, and temper at 250°C) has been developed making it possible with an elongation of 8% to increase the tensile and yield strengths of 85 steel by more than 50% in comparison with the standard heat treatment.

  2. 2.

    The increase in strength properties was caused by homogenization of the austenite in the first heating for hardening and grain refinement as a result of recrystallization of the austenite in the second heating for hardening.
