    The document summarizes a study on the relationship between grain size and hardness in annealed carbon steels. The study found: 1) In general, there is no definite relationship between grain size and Brinell hardness, except when the grain size increases very pronouncedly which is usually accompanied by a decrease in hardness. 2) The general effect of annealing steel is to harden it appreciably, increasing the hardness despite any sharp drop from an abrupt change in grain size. 3) The rate of cooling steel, and consequently the structural condition of the hardening constituent, affects the hardness much more than any other factor.

    It is shown that for a very slow rate of heating this transfor-


    mation is practically independent of carb,on content, and that it
    then ends at about 260’ C. This temperature undoubtedly repre-
    sents the end of the transition of martensite into the troostite of
    tempering. The transformation is also closely associated with
    the physical changes accompanying the tempering of hard-
    ened steel.

    A STUDY OF THE RELATION BETWEEN THE BRINELL HARD-


    NESS AND THE GRAIN SIZE OF ANNEALED
    CARBON STEELS.
    By Henry S. Rawdon and Emilio Jimeno Gil.
    [ABSTRACT.]

    IN some of the simple alloys a rather definite relation exists


    between grain size and hardness. A study was’ made of five types
    of carbon steel in various conditions of grain size to determine
    whether such a i-elation exists for steels. The variations in grain
    size were produced by annealing for long periods’ at different tem-
    peratures and also by low-temperature annealing after a prelimi-
    nary straining of the metal. Two methods were used for obtain-
    ing the hardness values, the standard Brine11 apparatus and a
    small type, designated as the “ micro-Brine11 ” testing set, by
    which the hardness of individual grains could be measured.
    In general there appears to be no definite relation between
    grain size and Brine11 hardness, except in thme case of a very pro-
    nounced increase in grain size, which is usually accompanied by a
    decrease in the hardness.
    The general effect of heating steel, i.e., in annealing, is to
    harden it appreciably, this increase in hardnes,s is noticeable in
    spite of any sharp drop which may a.ccompany an abrupt change
    of grain size.
    The rate at which steels are cooled, and consequently the struc-
    tural condition of the hardening constituent, affects the hardness
    much more than any other factor.
    Incidental to the study of the hardness of steels coarsened by
    annealing after permanent strain, some data were obtained rela-
    tive to the magnitude of the necessary stress required to cause
    pronounced grain growth upon annealing such strained metal
    below the A, transformation tem’uerature.
