The December issue of Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis features the classic article, “Grain Shapes and Other Metallurgical Applications of Topology” by Cyril Stanley Smith.
Hot-work steels range from high to extremely high in hardenability, so it is possible for them to achieve full hardness by cooling in still air. However, this is not recommended, because intense embrittlement occurs after slow cooling from hardening temperature.
