Description: Microalloyed forging steels require cooling rates greater than still air to obtain the best form of precipitates and increase strength. This study, supported by the Forging Industry Educational and Research Foundation, determined the critical cooling rates to produce interphase precipitation that results in peak hardness value for three different steel forgings alloys – 15V30M, 38MnVS6 and 15V41.
