The temperature required for full annealing in hypereutectoid steel is
A
30° C to 50° C above upper critical temperature
B
30° C to 50° C below upper critical temperature
C
30° C to 50° C above lower critical temperature
D
30° C to 50° C below lower critical temperature
Correct Answer: 30° C to 50° C above lower critical temperature
Full annealing is the process of slowly raising the temperature about 50 ºC (122 ºF) above the Austenitic temperature line A3 or line ACM in the case of Hypoeutectoid steels (steels with 0.77% Carbon).
