On the Step Cooling Treatment for the Assessment of Temper Embrittlement Susceptibility of Heavy Forgings in Superclean Steels

When subjected to extended exposure to intermediate service temperatures, Cr–Mo steels, Ni–Cr steels, and 5% Ni steels can become embrittled, with an associated decrease in fracture toughness and a shift in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature to higher temperatures. Two methods for the inv...
