Pearlite transformation during continuous cooling and its relation to isothermal transformation.

Extremely Fine Pearlite by Continuous Cooling Transformation

An extremely fine, fully pearlitic structure with an interlamellar spacing 30–50 nm has been obtained during continuous cooling transformation at a rate as low as 0.1 C s, of the steel that is normally used to produce nanostructured bainite. The solutes cobalt and aluminium have been added to accelerate the rate of reaction and reduce the interlamellar spacing by increasing the free energy of t...

Strong Bainitic Steels by Continuous Cooling Transformation

Using metallurgical models, three steels were designed to obtain carbide-free bainitic structures in the as-rolled condition. Experimental castings were hot-rolled in a pilot mill and their austenite decomposition kinetics were measured using dilatometry. Tensile and Charpy impact properties were measured and the microstructures were characterised using X-ray diffractometry, optical and scannin...

Neural Network Model for Isothermal Pearlite Transformation. Part I: Interlamellar Spacing Model

compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups

this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...

Modelling of Kinetics and Dilatometric Behavior of Non-isothermal Pearlite-to-austenite Transformation in an Eutectoid Steel

Austenitization is an inevitable occurrence during the heat treatment of steels. Despite this consideration, less attention has been paid so far to the study of the formation of austenite as compared with the vast amount of research on its decomposition. That is because the steel properties depend basically on the transformation processes following austenitization. However, the initial austenit...
