Annealing - TYPES
Incomplete annealing
The specimen is heated between
(A1 and A cm) for hypereutectoid steel &
(A1 and A 3) for hypo eutectoid steel.
For hyper-eutectoid steel slight
reduction in brittleness and
improvement in toughness is seen.
For hypo-eutectoid steels, partial
annealing increases its machinability.

Hardenability of steels
Jominy test - The test used to evaluate hardenability. An austenitized steel bar is
quenched at one end only, thus producing a range of cooling rates along the bar.

Hardenability of steels
After the piece has cooled to room temperature, shallow flats 0.5 mm (0.02 inch)
deep are ground along the specimen length and Rockwell hardness measurements
are made along each flat .
Hardness readings at every 1.6 mm (1/16 inch.) are taken.
A hardenability curve is produced when hardness is plotted as a function of
position from the quenched end.
