Modelling and characterisation of Mo2C precipitation and cementite dissolution during tempering of Fe-C-Mo martensitic steel
نویسندگان
چکیده
The precipitation and Ostwald ripening behaviour of needle shaped Mo2C particles during the tempering of a ternary Fe –C –Mo martensitic steel have been characterised and modelled, taking account of local equilibrium, the capillarity effect, and the simultaneous enrichment and dissolution of cementite. Particles of Mo2C are represented as paraboloids of revolution, with the tip radius chosen to yield the maximum lengthening rate. Transmission electron microscopy has been used to validate the theory; measurements of the average length, volume fraction, and number density of particles showed good agreement with experimental observations.

Modelling and characterisation of V4C3 precipitation and cementite dissolution during tempering of Fe-C-V martensitic steel
The precipitation and Ostwald ripening behaviour of V4C3 (plate shaped) particles during the tempering of a ternary Fe – C –V martensitic steel have been characterised and modelled, taking account of local equilibrium, the capillarity effect, and simultaneous cementite enrichment and dissolution. Particles of V4C3 are represented as parabolic cylinders of revolution, with the tip radius chosen ...
متن کاملAn 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 کاملInfluence of Tempering on the Microstructure & Properties of Martensite and Bainite developed in a Low-C High-Si Steel
Martensitic and bainitic steels are two types of widely used steels with excellent mechanical behaviors in automatic industry. It’s universally acknowledged that asquenched martensite possesses poor ductility and impact toughness, which should be tempered before putting into application. During tempering, as-quenched martensite changes from a hard and brittle microstructure to more ductile and ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Tempering Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of DIN 1.4021 Martensitic Stainless Steel
To investigate the effect of tempering treatment on mechanical properties and the microstructure of DIN 1.4021 Martensitic Stainless Steel, austenite treatment was conducted for the samples at 1000 ºC temperature for 60 min and then the samples were oil quenched. Later, tempering treatments were performed for the samples at 500 ºC and 700 ºC temperatures for 2 and 5 h, respectively; then quench...

perature range between 260° and 360°C. Jack showed that thin platelets of cementite formed at the beginning of this stage(10). In high carbon steels, the transformation twin interfaces are potent nucleation sites for the cementite formation and the cementite is related to the ferrite by Bagaryatskii's orientation relationship(2)(3)(11). Although there is no direct evidence of its existence in s...
