In addition, the metallurgical features of various heat treatment cycles, are reviewed. This information can be used as an aid in selecting the proper cast steel alloy and the heat treatment required to produce the desired final mechanical properties and microstructure, Chapter references in this supplement refer to chapters inthe Steel Castings Handbook, Sth Edition, published by the Steel Founders’ Society of America, Contents > HARDENABILITY End Quench Test Calculated End Quench Curves Application of Ideal Critical Diameter, O Cooling Rate Equivalence Specifying Hardenability Hardenability Bands Application of Harder Alloy Content .

Jominy test specimen and support for water quench HARDENABILITY Hardenability is the property of steel that governs the depth to which hardening occurs in a section during quenching. It should not be confused with hardness, which is the resistance to penetration as measured by the Rockwell, Brinell, or other hardness tests. Hardenability is of considerable importance because it relates directly to the strength of steel, as well as to many other mechanical properties, notably toughness and fatigue properties. The principal method of hardening carbon and low alloy steels consists of quenching the steel from the austenitizing temperature. Steels vary in their response to this quenching operation because the depth below the surface of a part to which the part hardens will
