The results of tensile testing indicate that the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength were gradually reduced with increasing temperature. However, as expected, the ductility parameters were enhanced at elevated temperatures due to increased plasticity. The results of SSR testing, in the 90°C acidic solution, indicate that the failure stress was increased but the ductility was reduced to some extent at longer tempering times. The CPP results indicate that the critical potentials became more active (negative) at higher testing temperature.
