Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 38SDP

Figure 4.18b shows hardness distributions in end-quench tests, as measured along the length of the round bar. Make a simple qualitative sketch showing the hardness distribution across the diameter of the bar. Would the shape of the curve depend on the bar’s carbon content? Explain.
