On the Changes in Distribution of Hardness and Structure Caused by Cold Working of Metals and Some Phenomena Related to Them (VII). Effects of Low-Temperature Annealing

Abstract

The effects of low-temperature annealing upon the distribution of hardness and structure and the magnetic properties of cold worked Armco iron were studied. The effects were found influenced by the degree of cold working and different according to the position of transverse section. The changes in the residual stresses, the distribution of hardness and structure and the magnetic properties due to the low-temperature annealing were also discussed.
