Cool rapidly to $\text{350°C}\left(\text{660°F}\right)$, hold for ${\text{10}}^{\text{3}}\text{s}$, then quench to room temperature:

(b)

To determine

Cool rapidly to $\text{625°C}\left(\text{1160°F}\right)$, hold for $\text{10}\text{s}$, then quench to room temperature:

(c)

To determine

Cool rapidly to $\text{600°C}\left(\text{1110°F}\right)$, hold for $\text{4}\text{s}$, rapidly cool to $\text{450°C}\left(\text{840°F}\right)$, hold for $\text{10}\text{s}$, then quench to room temperature:
