Abstract

The dependences of the coercive force H c of quenched specimens made of simple carbon steels on the tempering temperature T t were measured at room and liquid-nitrogen temperatures. These studies showed that the formation of the character of H c(T t) dependences for the mentioned steels within the region of medium and high tempering temperatures is caused by the content of cementite and its magnetic hysteresis properties.
