Abstract: The main objective of this project is to study and analyze the microstructures and mechanical properties of low carbon steel alloy during normalizing, annealing & tempering heat treatment processes. Generally for low carbon steels Normalizing is preferred heat treatment process to obtain desired properties even though there are plethora of other heat treatment processes, we were curious to find out its reason in that process we had referred through many sources i.e.,(internet & books). We haven?t found any proper reason for it so we decided to complete the project. This project describes about the change in microstructure of low carbon steel alloy with respect to time during various heat treatment processes, it also illustrates the change in mechanical properties during different heat treatment processes through stress strain curves.
