Sub zero treatment of steel is done to____________________?

Correct answer: C. Reduce the retained austenite in hardened steel

  • A. Suppress martensite transformation
  • B. Enhance its working performance in sub zero atmosphere
  • C. Reduce the retained austenite in hardened steel
  • D. Induce temper brittleness after its hardening

Explanation

Sub-zero treatment converts retained austenite into martensite after hardening, improving dimensional stability and hardness. It therefore reduces the amount of retained austenite.
