Tempering Temperature

Fig 1:- Graph of Hardness Vs. Tempering Temperature and hardening Temperature[5] From the graph, we can conclude that1.

Increase in the hardening temperature, hardness of 40Cr4 increases but at the same time brittleness also tends to increases.

2.

Increase in the tempering temperature, hardness of 40Cr4 is also decreases and at the same time ductility is increases in small amount.
