The best heat treatment for reducing residual stress in hardened hypoeutectoid steel depends on the specific composition of the steel, the initial heat treatment process, and the intended application of the steel. However, one common method for reducing residual stress in hardened hypoeutectoid steel is to perform a tempering process. Tempering is a heat treatment process that involves heating the hardened steel to a temperature below its critical point and holding it at that temperature for a specified time, followed by cooling it in still air. This process can help to reduce the hardness and brittleness of the steel while also reducing residual stress. The specific temperature and time required for tempering will depend on the desired properties of the steel and the initial heat treatment process. Generally, a tempering temperature of around 400-600°C for a few hours is effective for reducing residual stress in hypoeutectoid steel. However, it is important to note that over-tempering can lead to a reduction in strength and hardness, so careful control of the tempering process is necessary. Other heat treatment processes such as annealing or stress relief heat treatments may also be effective for reducing residual stress, but these may result in a reduction in hardness and strength, which may not be desirable depending on the application of the steel.
Spheroidization is a process by which the microstructure of steel is transformed from a predominantly elongated or lamellar shape to a more spherical or globular shape. This process can improve the ductility and toughness of the steel. SAE 4037 is a low-alloy steel that can be heat-treated to improve its mechanical properties. However, the degree of spheroidization that can be achieved in this steel depends on several factors, such as the chemical composition of the steel, the heat treatment process, and the cooling rate. To reliably certify SAE 4037 to 95% spheroidization, it would be necessary to carefully control these factors during the manufacturing process and conduct rigorous quality control tests to verify the degree of spheroidization achieved. This would likely require close collaboration between the steel manufacturer and the customer to ensure that the steel meets the desired specifications. It's also worth noting that achieving 95% spheroidization may not always be necessary or practical for a given application. The required degree of spheroidization will depend on the specific properties required for the intended use of the steel. Therefore, it's important to carefully consider the intended use and performance requirements before specifying a particular degree of spheroidization for SAE 4037 or any other steel.

Thank you sir , I have my exam tomorrow and this will hopefully help me with it
I am sure it will help you.
All the best!
I have also
Amazingly explained
Glad it was helpful!
Beautifully explained....

exam is tomorrow thank you so much
Most welcome and good luck!
Can you please tell me which heat treatment is best for reducing residual stress of hardened hypo eutectoid steel ?
