Abstract

To study the effects of Tempering process at different temperature on the mechanical properties of medium
carbon steel. These standard specimens were examined at 10000 C temperatures and soaking for 2 hours in a muffle
furnace and quenched in oil. Then these specimens were carried out for Universal Izod testing machine for toughness,
Rockwell hardness method for hardness testing and universal tensile testing machine for tensile test. After testing of the
specimens, the hardness and tensile strength and yield strength was decrease and proportionally elongation, ductility
and toughness increase. So it improved mechanical properties of medium carbon steel and modified by tempering
process. The medium carbon steel is used at different purpose and application as per the requirement. Tempering is Heat
treatment processes which can change and improve mechanical properties of medium carbon steel.
