Abstract
EMBRITTLEMENT of hard-tempered martensite (500°F embrittlement) appears to be coincident with the beginning of the third stage of tempering. During the first stage, primary martensite of steels containing over 0.25 pct C decomposes to a mixture of c carbide and martensite of appreciably constant carbon content close to 0.25 pct.' During the third stage of tempering, cementite forms. In steels with
