Abstract
The effects of cold work upon the further tempering characteristics of three carbon steels which had previously been quenched and tempered for a short period have been investigated. Recrystallization of the ferrite has been observed and with the low-carbon steel the ferrite grain size may become much larger than that found after direct tempering. Cold work also seems to increase the rate of Ostwald ripening of the cementite. The results obtained are discussed in relation to previous work on the role of dispersed phases upon recrystallization behaviour.
