In this work, Ck85 carbon steel was subjected to cyclic heat treatment. Process that consisted of cyclic short-duration (3.4 minutes) holding at 800 C (above Ac3 temperature) followed by forced air cooling. After 8 cycles (about a total 1 hour duration of heating and cooling cyclic), the microstructure mostly contained fine ferrite grains and spheroidzed cementite. This microstructure possessed an excellent combination of strength and ductility. The disintegration of lamellar pearlite through dissolution of cementite at boundaries lamellar during short-duration holding above Ac3 temperature, and the generation of lamellar defects during nonequilibrium forced air cooling were the main reasons of accelerated spheroidization. The strength initially increased mainly due to the presence of finer microconstituents (ferrite and pearlite) and then marginally decreased with the elimination of lamellar pearlite and appearance of spheroid cementite in the microstructure.

This paper provides a mechanism to study aluminum diffusion microstructure, phase structure and different properties of the aluminized layer in carbon steel. The results of aluminized treatment in saturated medium lead to the formation of diffusion layer coating that contains iron aluminide and a- solid solution of aluminum in the unit cell of iron. The effect of aluminizing process parameters on the aluminizing layer, especially the effect of temperature and time, has been shown to increase the depth of the aluminized layer when temperature and time increase, but the effect of temperature is greater than time.
We have studied in this paper the effect of thermal gaseous using NH3 – gas at some diffusion layers properties of tool steel 20 in temperature range (550 ,650 ,750, 850) 0C , 4h at each one . The purpose of this heat treatment is to get and determ ine the microhardness, fatigue and corrosion resistance. The micro-hardness was determined using Vickers's tester with values ranged between ( 130-435 ) HV. In order to verify these results, we studied the microstructure if the surface layers using metallurgical microscope and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Furthermore the corrosion resistance was studied after immersing it in sea water for two year.
In line quenching and tempering has allowed ASCO (Arabian Steel Company) to have higher ductility bar at higher strength levels compared with classic rebar production with substantial reduction in alloy consumption by using heat treatment (thermex) during production proses on production line. QTB (Quenching Tempering Bars) is an alternate means of strengthening long bars by quenching the bars with water and then allowing the bars to self-tempering and hardened case, the process is performed in line with the rolling process, after the finishingarea. The process is stable and controlled, and it's effective on hardness and strength properties on reinforced steel bars The research has concentrate on Thermex and Thermex elements in finishing area of rolling process.
The aim of this work is to study the effect of the aging heat treatment on the pitting corrosion resistance of martensitic stainless steel. In this research a number of specimens from martensitic stainless steel were subjected to solution treatment a t 1050 for one hour followed by water quenching then aging in the temperatures range (400-750) for different holding times (1-16 hrs). After heat treatment, two types of corrosion tests (accelerated test and immersion test) were conducted. The results obtained in this research showed that the pitting corrosion resistance was affected by Aging temperature and three critical temperatures were found in corrosion test: the specimens aged at 475 0C had maximum corrosion rate. This may be due to the presence of stringer δ- ferrite and precipitation of very fine precipitates which precipitated heterogeneously in the martensitic matrix, which led to an increase in corrosion rate. The specimens aged at temperatures range (550 – 625) 0C had minimum values of corrosion rate, this is attributed to the high volume fraction of retained austenite. The specimens aged at temperatures above 625 had intermediate corrosion rate. The type of pits, which resulted from two pitting corrosion tests, was independent form the form of δ-ferrite and carbides which presence in microstructure.
