Question: Q 3 . ( 6 p . ) You are given a 0 . 4 % C plain carbon steel bar in annealed condition. Three

Q3.(6 p.) You are given a 0.4%C plain carbon steel bar in annealed condition. Three bars are cut from this bar and subjected to different heat treatment processes:
Bar. 1 : It is heated to 700C for 1hr and then quenched in water.
Bar.2: It is heated to 735C for 1hr and then quenched in water.
Bar.3: It is heated to 880C for 1hr and then quenched in water.
The diameter of the original bar is 5mm, which is enough to obtain 100% martensite upon water quenching.
Put the bars No.1,2 and 3 in the order of increasing wear resistance. State your reason in three sentences.
