To improve the machinability of steel, it is generally subjected to_______________?

Correct answer: A. Spheroidising

  • A. Spheroidising
  • B. Tempering
  • C. Normalising
  • D. Annealing

Explanation

Spheroidising changes lamellar cementite into rounded particles, reducing resistance to cutting and improving machinability, particularly in high-carbon steels. Annealing can also soften steel, but spheroidising is the more specific treatment for this purpose.
