Abstract
This investigation was carried out to study the effect ferritic-martensitic
constituent on mechanical property and corrosion behaviour of medium carbon DP
steel. Several stages of heat treatment were applied on the as-received medium
carbon steel which composed of lamellarizing, quenching and tempering process. Asreceived medium carbon steel was assigned as a reference sample for comparison
analysis. Mechanical property was evaluated using Vickers hardness to examine the
effect of changing the ferritic-martensitic constituent of the medium carbon steel.
Besides, the effect of this constituent on the corrosive behaviour of the medium
carbon DP steel was investigated using 1 M hydrochloric acid solution.
