The formation of deformation texture by steels undergoing martensite transformations

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...

The 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...

Texture Evolution in Low Carbon Steel Fabricated by Multi-directional Forging of the Martensite Starting Structuree

It has been clarified that deformation and annealing of martensite starting structure can produce ultrafine-grained structure in low carbon steel.  This study aims to investigate the texture evolution and mechanical properties of samples with martensite structure deformed by two different forging processes. The martensitic steel samples were forged by plane strain compression and multi-directio...
