Temper embrittlement is inherent in many steels and can be
characterized by reduced impact toughness. The state of temper
embrittlement has practically no effect on other mechanical properties
at room temperature. Many alloy steels have two temperature intervals
of temper embrittlement. For instance, irreversible temper brittleness
may appear within the interval of 250-400°C and reversible temper
brittleness, within 450-650°C.
