The effect of various heat treatment operations (annealing, normalizing and hardening) on mechanical properties of medium carbon steel was investigated. The samples were prepared and heat-treated at 770 ºC subsequently was cooled by different quenching media. The mechanical properties of the treated and untreated samples were determined using standard methods. Results showed that the mechanical properties of carbon steel can be changed and improved by various heat treatments. It was also found that the annealed samples has the lowest tensile strength and hardness value and highest ductility, while hardened samples has the highest tensile strength and hardness value and lowest ductility value.

A laminated composite consisting of an ultrahigh carbon steel (UHCS) and an 8Ni-2Si iron interleaf material can be selectively heat treated without carbon diffusion between adjacent layers. This desirable attribute leads to a low ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of about 163K ( − 110°C) after selective heat treatment. This result is a consequence of notch blunting from the presence of the sharp interlayer boundary and the tough interleaf material. Based on Charpy notch impact results of selectively heat-treated UHCS composites containing 8Ni-2Si iron and other interleaf materials, it is concluded that the DBTT is principally a function of the notch-toughness of the interleaf material.

The effect of heat setting methods on the structures and mechanical properties of high strength polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibre is studied in this article. The microstructure and mechanical properties of heat treated PVA fibre is investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and single fibre electronic tensile strength tester. Results show that the heat setting method with constant tension is a good heat setting method which can largely enhance the tensile strength of PVA fibre. During the heat setting process, the mechanical properties of PVA fibre are greatly affected by the temperature, tension and setting time. When the temperature is 220°C, tension is 5cN/dtex and setting time is 90sec, the tensile strength of PVA fibre increases from 12.0cN/dtex to 16.4cN/dtex in compare with the PVA fibre without heat setting

A well-consolidated composite of Al alloy 6061 reinforced with 4, 8 and 12 wt% garnet was prepared by a liquid metallurgy technique, the composite was heat treated for different ageing durations (T6 treatment), and its mechanical properties were determined by destructive testing. The results of the study indicated that, as the garnet particle content in the composites increased, there were marked increases in the ultimate tensile strength, compressive strength and hardness but there was a decrease in the ductility. There was an improvement in the tensile strength, compressive strength, and hardness with ageing due to precipitation. Precipitation in Al alloy 6061, with and without garnet particulate reinforcement, was studied using transmission electron microscopy. The fracture behaviour of the composites was altered significantly by the presence of garnet particles and the crack propagation through the matrix, and the reinforcing particle clusters resulted in final fracture.
