How would you expect an increase in the austenite grain size to affect the hardenability of a steel alloy? Why?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

The hardenability increases with increasing austenite grain size, because the grain boundary area is decreasing. This means that the sites for the nucleation of ferrite and pearlite are being reduced in number, with the result that these transformations are slowed down, and the hardenability is therefore increased.

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

#The commutative property of multiplication tells us that it doesn't matter in what order you multiply numbers. The formula for this property is a * b = b * a:

$40\times32\times10\times 25=320,000\\\\25\times10\times32\times 40=320,000\\\\10\times32\times25\times 40=320,000\\\\32\times25\times40\times 10=320,000$
