Manganese steel (Hadfield) is one of the important<br> alloys in industry due to its special properties. High work hardening<br> ability with appropriate toughness and ductility are the properties that<br> caused this alloy to be used in wear resistance parts and in high<br> strength condition. Heat treatment is the main process through which<br> the desired mechanical properties and microstructures are obtained in<br> Hadfield steel. In this study various heat treatment cycles, differing in<br> austenising temperature, time and quenching solution are applied. For<br> this purpose, the same samples of manganese steel was heat treated in<br> 9 different cycles, and then the mechanical properties and<br> microstructures were investigated. Based on the results of the study,<br> the optimum heat treatment cycle was obtained.
