Dilatometric analysis of cementite dissolution in hypereutectoid steels containing Cr
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cementite dissolution in hypereutectoid steels containing Cr is analyzed using dilatometry combined with the consideration of the carbon content in the austenite. The results suggest that the austenite transformed from the mixture of ferrite and cementite can be approximated to have a carbon content corresponding to equilibrium with ferrite. The overall dissolution behavior of cementite is described well with the suggested analysis procedure.

An Analytical Electron Microscopy Study of Paraequilibrium Cementite Precipitation in Ultra-High-Strength Steel
To support quantitative design of ultra-high-strength (UHS) secondary-hardening steels, the precipitation of cementite prior to the precipitation of the M2C phase is investigated using a model alloy. The microstructure of cementite is investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Consistent with earlier studies on tempering of Fe-C martensite, lattice imaging of cementite s...
متن کاملDivorced Pearlite in Steels
Steels containing large carbon concentrations are used particularly when a large hardness is required, for example in the manufacture of components such as bearings. This, however, makes it difficult to shape or machine the alloys during the process of component manufacture unless they are first heat–treated into a softened condition. One method of achieving this economically is to generate a m...

The decomposition of austenite to ferrite or cementite begins at the equilibrium phase boundary of austenite/ (ferrite austenite) or austenite/(cementite austenite) in binary Fe–C phase diagram. The temperature values on the phase boundaries of austenite/(ferrite austenite) and austenite/(cementite austenite) at a certain carbon content are called Ae3 and Acm temperatures of the steel, respecti...

The aim of this study was to investigate the suitable temperature range for hot deformation of three medium carbon Ni-Cr-Mo low alloy steels by hot tensile and hot torsion tests. Hot tensile tests were carried out in the te,prature range of 850-1150°C at a constant strain rate of 0.1 s-1 until fracture. Then, the tensile flow behavior, hot ductility and microstructural evolution of the steels w...
