T e n s i l e s p e c i m e n s 50 m m (2 in.) gage length by 12.5 m m (1/2 in.) wide were m a c h i n e d p r i o r to heat t r e a t m e n t s and w e r e t e s t e d in an I n s t r o n m a c h i n e at r o o m t e m p e r a t u r e at a c r o s s h e a d rate of a p p r o x i m a t e l y 2 • 10 -2 m m / s (0.05 i n . / m i n ) . Impact t e s t s a m p l e s were s t a n d a r d Charpy s i z e except for t h e i r t h i c k n e s s (~6 mm); the length of the s p e c i m e n s was made p a r a l l e l to the r o l l i n g d i r e c t i o n and the notch was made p e r p e n d i c u l a r to the s u r f a c e of the sheet. S t a n d a r d hour g l a s s shaped s p e c i m e n s 8 with a 2.5 m m gage length were used for the fatigue study. All heat t r e a t m e n t s were c a r r i e d out in a high t e m p e r a t u r e n e u t r a l s a l t pot. F o r the i n t e r c r i t i e a l IDP t r e a t m e n t s a m p l e s were held for 10 m i n at the r e q u i r e d t e m p e r a t u r e while for the fully a u s t e n i t i z e d ADP t r e a t m e n t 5 m i n was sufficient.

S p e c i m e n s were e i t h e r a i r cooled (still or forced air) or b r i n e quenched as r e q u i r e d . U n l e s s noted o t h e r w i s e the IDP t r e a t m e n t was 10 rain at 790~ and the ADP t r e a t m e n t was 5 m i n at 870~ both followed by a i r cooling. Most s p e c i m e n s used for the m e t a l l o g r a p h i c e x a m i n a t i o n were t e m p e r e d at 400~ for 30 rain to produce a d a r k e n e d m a r t e n s i t e when etched in a n i t a l - p i c r a l solution.
