PHYSICAL CORROSION PROCESSES IN FERRITE-PEARLITIC STEELS

Mechanism of Abnormal Grain Boundary Ferrite Formation in Hypereutectoid Pearlitic Steels

Electropulse - induced cementite nanoparticle formation in deformed pearlitic steels

Passing one electric-current pulse through deformed pearlitic steel wires at room temperature causes the formation of cementite particles around 30 nm in size. This is found not only in some particular locations but throughout the cementite area, which reveals a different mechanism from traditional spheroidization of cementite plates because the latter leads to the formation of particles with m...

Study on Corrosion Behavior of Pearlitic Rail Steel

The present study is an attempt to find out the effect of environmental corrosion on the commonly used pearlitic rail steel. The cases of corrosion of rail under Indian environment have been studied. It has been found that in marine environment both the yield strength and tensile strength decreases with increasing corrosion rate. In acidic environment yield strength increased with increasing co...

ULTRA FINE FERRITE FORMATION IN Si-Mn TRIP STEELS

Abstract: In the present investigation, the effects of thermomechanical processing parameters and the steel chemical composition on the ultra fine ferrite formation characteristics were studied. This was programmed relying on the capabilities of strain induced transformation (SIT) phenomenon and applying to different grades of Si-Mn TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) steels. According...
