Magnetic saturation and C content can be correlated accurately at 0.50-1.10% C. Samples containing more than 0.40% C were quenched from above 700°; other C contents required slow cooling. When both types of heat treatment were used, samples containing 0.10-1.10% C could be tested. The apparatus is described. |
