Martensite in Steels
The name martensite is after the German scientist Martens. It was used originally to describe the hard microconstituent found in quenched steels. Martensite remains of the greatest technological importance in steels where it can confer an outstanding combination of strength (> 3500MPa) and toughness (> 200MPam 1 2 ). Many materials other than steel are now known to exhibit the same type of soli...
متن کاملMechanism of misorientation development within coalesced martensite
Coarse crystals of martensite can form by the coalescence of thin individual platelets of martensite under appropriate circumstances. Although these coarse grains are essentially single crystals, there exist significant orientation gradients across their dimensions. It is demonstrated that these gradients arise because of the plasticity induced in austenite due to the transformation strain asso...
متن کاملGrain Boundary Segregation in Commercial Nuclear Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels
Grain boundary (GB) segregation of impurity/solute atoms in surveillance test specimens of a commercial western-type pressurized water reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel has been observed by using state-of-the-art 3D atom probe (3DAP) field ion microscope (laser-assisted local electrode-type atom probe: laser-LEAP). The GB segregation is considered to be an origin of the embrittlement of the R...
متن کاملThe Silicon Effect in the Tempering of Martensite in Steels
High-silicon steels have long been known to possess exceptional resistance to tempering, but the reasons for this effect were unknown. We report here a study of the third stage of tempering of these steels, in which cementite is formed. In a 0.75 wt% C 1.4 wt% Si alloy steel, tempered for 1 hour at 380°C, it is found that silicon atoms are rejected from the growing cementite into the ferrite ma...
