____ consists of heating steels to slightly above a specific temperature and holding for austenite to form, then followed by cooling (in still air).
A) Normalizing
B) Preheating
C) Annealing
D) Stress relieving

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described is normalizing, which involves heating steel to a temperature where austenite forms and then cooling it in still air. This process is often used to refine the grain structure of the steel and improve its mechanical properties. Preheating is the process of heating a material prior to welding, annealing involves heating a material to a specific temperature and then cooling it slowly to reduce its hardness, and stress relieving involves heating a material to relieve internal stresses.
