When a medium to high carbon steel is quenched:
- A.
It becomes malleable
- B.
Its hardness increases
- C.
It becomes ductile
- D.
The plasticity is increased
Correct Answer
C. It becomes ductileExplanation
When a medium to high carbon steel is quenched, the rapid cooling process causes the carbon atoms to be trapped within the crystal structure of the steel. This results in the formation of a hard and brittle material. However, the process of quenching also introduces internal stresses within the steel. These stresses can be relieved by tempering, which involves heating the steel to a specific temperature and then cooling it slowly. This tempering process helps to increase the ductility of the steel, making it less prone to cracking or breaking under stress. Therefore, the correct answer is that the steel becomes ductile after quenching.Rate this question:
