The renges of temperature and time were 675 to 975 K and 35 to 3.5 ×106 s, respectively. The following results were obtained. 1)The tempered hardness of carbon steels can be approximated with a linear function of the tempereing parameter, λ proposed recently by T.Inoue, and is roughly a reciprocal proportion to the conventional tempering parameter, P. 2)The tempered hardness of low alloy steels, however, can not be expressed by the function of tempering parameter, because the secondary hardening or the delay of softening occur due to the precipitation of carbide, and therfore, the activation energy changes with the advance of tempering. 3)Time-temperature-hardness diagrams are proposed for showing the tempered hardness of low alloy steels.}, pages = {9--22}, title = {Time-Temperature-Hardness Diagrams of Tempered Steels}, volume = {15}, year = {1990} }
