In this work , low carbon steel is heated at different conditions and different volume fraction of martensite are obtained
after intercritical heating followed by air, water and oil quenching at different intercritical temperature. The tensile strength of
low carbon steels are measured. Corrosion properties are evaluated using immersion test. It was observed that the tensile strength
increased with increase in martensite volume fraction .The corrosion rates for low carbon steel is found to be lower than that for
ferrite- pearlite steel
