Excerpt from Effect of Heat Treatment on the Mechanical Properties of 1 Per Cent Carbon Steel From the preceding results it appears that slow cooling from temperatures just above Ac, l gives maximum ductility and low strength. With rise in annealing temperature the ductility de creases rapidly, and elongation and reduction of area in general remain at low values, while the strength reaches a maximum 1n the range about 900°c (1652° F).
