2. Read and translate the following text into Ukrainian. Heat Treatment of Steels. Heat Treatment Operations

Artifacts from early civilizations indicate that crude iron was hardened by heat treatment as early as 1.000 B.C., but an understanding of the compositional and structural factors controlling hardening of iron or steel was not achieved until the eighteenth century.

Heat-treatment is the process of controlled heating and cooling of metals to change their structural arrangement and to ensure certain desirable properties.

Reasons for Heat Treating

Hardening. Steels can be heat treated to high hardness and strength level. The reasons for doing this are obvious. Structural components subjected to high operating stress need the high strength of a hardened structure. Similarly, tools such as dies, knives, cutting devices, and forming devices need a hardened structure to resist wear and deformation.

Softening a hardened structure. Most steels weld better in their soft state than in their hardened state; softening may be used to aid weldability.

Stress Relief. Stress relieving is a heat treatment used to remove internal strains without significantly lowering strength. It is used where close dimensional control is needed on weldments, forgings, castings.

Diffusion of alloying elements. It was stated that one of the criteria for hardening a steel is that it has sufficient carbon content. Carbon is frequently diffused into the surface of soft steels for surface hardening. Using this principle, elements such as chromium, boron, nitrogen, and silicon can be diffused in the surface of steel for special purposes.

Tempering. As quenched hardened steels are so brittle that even slight impacts may cause fracture. Tempering is a heat treatment that reduces the brittleness of a steel without significantly lowering its hardness and strength. All hardened steels must be tempered before use.
