Describe, in words, the following processes as they relate to the iron-carbon phase diagram:
1. Annealing
2. Quenching
3. Tempering
Annealing: it is a heat treatment that alters the physical and somtisome chemical properties of a material to increase it's ductility and reduce it's hardnesses make it more workable.
Quenching: it is a mechanical process in which steel and cast iron alloys are strengthened and hardened.
Tempering: it is a process of improving the charcteratics of a metal especially steel by heating it to a high temperature through below the melting point.this process has the effect of toughening by by lessening brittleness and reducing internal stresses
