Abstract
The BI (Ball Indentation) method has the potential to assess the mechanical properties and to replace conventional fracture tests. In this study, the effect of aging on mechanical behavior of lCr-lMo-0.25V steels procured by isothermal aging heat-treatment at four different aging times in the range of 0–1820 hours at 630h°C., were investigated using BI system.
