Abstract
Steels are among the most versatile materials in modifying their microstructure and properties by heat treatment. This article outlines the basic concepts of physical metallurgy relating to the heat treatment of steel. It considers the phases and microstructures of steel together with the transformations observed and critical temperatures during heat treatment. Additionally, the different types of steels, heat treatments, and their purposes are also discussed.
