How with alloying of steel it is possible to a achieve properties which can not be achieved with heat
treatment ?

1 Answer

Answer :

A prerequisite to the hardening of steels is that martensite should be formed on cooling, but this can
only be achieved if the rate of cooling is great enough to suppress the formation of pearlite or bainite
and in plain carbon steels this can be achieved by quenching relatively small specimens
