This study investigated tensile deformation of the stress aging heat-treated SM45C steel which are aging temperature at 250℃ and 300℃; aging time at 1 hour and, 3 hours; applied load at 300N and 400N by using an acoustic emission techniques (AEs). A signal processing technology is applied to evaluate an AE source characterization of different AE measurement systems DiSP & PCI-2. In this study, most suitable aging condition appeared at 250℃, 3 hours and 300N. But in cases of 250℃, 3 hours, 400N and 300℃, 3 hours, 400N conditions, yield load decreased compare to other conditions according to the over-aging phenomena. On the other hand, when arranged via AE amplitude results by K-means clustering pattern recognition of AE raw signals, tendency of signal strength appeared non-heat treatment condition, 'Class 1 < Class 2 < Class 3'; optimal condition, 'Class 3 < Class 2'; over-aging condition, 'Class 3 < Class 2 < Class 1'. This is judged by emitting a lot of AE energy when material causes plastic deformation because ductility increases on factor by over-aging phenomenon.
