All Rights Reserved. www.asminternational.org Steels: Processing, Structure, and Performance (#05140G) CHAPTER 15 High-Carbon Steels: Fully Pearlitic Microstructures and Applications Introduction THE TRANSFORMATION OF AUSTENITE to pearlite has been de- scribed in Chapter 4, “Pearlite, Ferrite, and Cementite,” and Chapter 13, “Normalizing, Annealing, and Spheroidizing Treatments; Ferrite/Pearlite Microstructures in Medium-Carbon Steels,” which have shown that as microstructure becomes fully pearlitic as steel carbon content approaches the eutectiod composition, around 0.80% carbon, strength increases, but resistance to cleavage fracture decreases. This chapter describes the me- chanical properties and demanding applications for which steels with fully pearlitic microstructures are well suited. With increasing cooling rates in the pearlite continuous cooling trans- formation range, or with isothermal transformation temperatures ap- proaching the pearlite nose of isothermal transformation diagrams, Fig. 4.3 in Chapter 4, the interlamellar spacing of pearlitic ferrite and cementite becomes very fine. As a result, for most ferrite/pearlite microstructures, the interlamellar spacing is too fine to be resolved in the light microscope, and the pearlite appears uniformly dark. Therefore, to resolve the inter- lamellar spacing of pearlite, scanning electron microscopy, and for the finest spacings, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), are necessary to resolve the two-phase structure of pearlite. Figure 15.1 is a TEM mi- crograph showing very fine interlamellar structure in a colony of pearlite from a high-carbon steel rail.

Fe Fe C Eutectoid 3 γ transformation (cementite) (Austenite) + α C FCC (ferrite) (BCC) • How does the rate of transformation depend on time and temperature ? • Is it possible to slow down transformations so that non-equilibrium structures are formed? • Are the mechanical properties of non-equilibrium structures more desirable than equilibrium ones? AMSE 205 Spring ‘2016 Chapter 12 - 1 Phase Transformations Nucleation – nuclei (seeds) act as templates on which crystals grow – for nucleus to form rate of addition of atoms to nucleus must be faster than rate of loss – once nucleated, growth proceeds until equilibrium is attained Driving force to nucleate increases as we increase ΔT – supercooling (eutectic, eutectoid) – superheating (peritectic) Small supercooling slow nucleation rate - few nuclei - large crystals Large supercooling rapid nucleation rate - many nuclei - small crystals AMSE 205 Spring ‘2016 Chapter 12 - 2 Solidification: Nucleation Types • Homogeneous nucleation – nuclei form in the bulk of liquid metal – requires considerable supercooling (typically 80-300 °C) • Heterogeneous nucleation – much easier since stable “nucleating surface” is already present — e.g., mold wall, impurities in liquid phase – only very slight supercooling (0.1-10 °C) AMSE 205 Spring ‘2016 Chapter 12 - 3 Homogeneous Nucleation & Energy Effects Surface Free Energy- destabilizes the nuclei (it takes energy to make an interface) γ = surface tension ΔGT = Total Free Energy = ΔGS + ΔGV Volume (Bulk) Free Energy – stabilizes the nuclei (releases energy) r* = critical nucleus: for r < r* nuclei shrink; for r > r* nuclei grow (to reduce energy) Adapted from Fig.12.2(b), Callister & Rethwisch 9e.

    HEAT TREATMENT Imparting soul to steel voestalpine High Performance Metals India Pvt. Ltd. www.voestalpine.com/highperformancemetals/india HEAT TREATMENT HEAT TREATING IS THE CONTROLLED HEATING AND COOLING OF STEELS FOR PRIMARY PURPOSE OF ALTERING THEIR PROPERTIES (I.E. STRENGTH DUCTILITY, HARDNESS, TOUGHNESS, MACHINABILITY ETC.) FOR A GIVEN APPLICATION. Heat Treatment is done either to achieve a higher strength of the material (Changing structure to martensite) or for softening & conditioning purpose (annealing,tempering etc.) It is an operation or combination of operations involving heating at a specific rate, soaking at a temperature for a period of time & cooling at some specified rate. The aim of this process is to achieve a higher strength of the material, better wear resistance or to improve the corrosion behavior of the components. We provide Heat Treatment process like » Vacuum Heat Treatment » Cryogenic Treatment (Liquid Nitrogen) » Stress Relieving (Vacuum & Atmosphere) » Vacuum Annealing VACUUM HEAT TREATMENT OUR VACUUM HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS HELPS YOU TO ACHIEVE HIGHER STRENGTH OF MATERIAL AND OPTIMUM MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF TOOLS/COMPONENTS.

  • Quantification of the Microstructures of Hypoeutectic White Cast Iron Using
    Quantification of the Microstructures of Hypoeutectic White Cast Iron using Mathematical Morphology and an Artificial Neuronal Network Victor Albuquerque, João Manuel R. S. Tavares, Paulo Cortez Abstract This paper describes an automatic system for segmentation and quantification of the microstructures of white cast iron. Mathematical morphology algorithms are used to segment the microstructures in the input images, which are later identified and quantified by an artificial neuronal network. A new computational system was developed because ordinary software could not segment the microstructures of this cast iron correctly, which is composed of cementite, pearlite and ledeburite. For validation purpose, 30 samples were analyzed. The microstructures of the material in analysis were adequately segmented and quantified, which did not happen when we used ordinary commercial software. Therefore, the proposed system offers researchers, engineers, specialists and others, a valuable and competent tool for automatic and efficient microstructural analysis from images. Keywords: hypoeutectic white cast iron, image processing and analysis, mathematical morphology, artificial neuronal network, image quantification. 1 1. Introduction Cast iron is an iron-carbon-silicon alloy used in numerous industrial applications, such as the base structures of manufacturing machines, rollers, valves, pump bodies and mechanical gears, among others. The main families of cast irons are: nodular cast iron, malleable cast iron, grey cast iron and white cast iron (Callister, 2006). Their properties, as of all materials, are influenced by their microstructures and therefore, the correct characterization of their microstructures is highly important. Thus, quantitative metallography is commonly used to determine the quantity, appearance, size and distribution of the phases and constituents of the white cast iron microstructures.
