The heat treatment to which the steel wire containing > 0.25% carbon is subjected to is___________________?

Correct answer: C. Patenting

  • A. Full annealing
  • B. Bright annealing
  • C. Patenting
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Patenting is the controlled heat treatment used for high-carbon steel wire, commonly above about 0.25% carbon, to obtain a fine pearlitic structure suitable for drawing. Annealing mainly softens the steel rather than preparing it for this wire-drawing condition.
