Abstract: | A special pretransformation state in steels is of considerable interest and importance for practical application.Difficulties arising from the necessity for precise temperature regulation have already been overcome incontemporary heating equipment. In this article certain features of this pretransformation state are explainedor confirmed, and the utility of its application in heat treatment is described.Bardin Central Scientific Research Institute for Steel Metallurgy.
