Electropulse - induced cementite nanoparticle formation in deformed pearlitic steels
نویسنده
چکیده
Passing one electric-current pulse through deformed pearlitic steel wires at room temperature causes the formation of cementite particles around 30 nm in size. This is found not only in some particular locations but throughout the cementite area, which reveals a different mechanism from traditional spheroidization of cementite plates because the latter leads to the formation of particles with much large size. Transmission electron microscopy images show electropulse-induced strain relief and formation of fine precipitations. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis demonstrates the additional stored free energy by electropulsing treatment. The raised free energy accounts the increased interface area in finer microstructure of materials. The experiment evidences that the passing electric current in metal has alternated the free energy sequence of various microstructures in comparison with that of current-free system.

Pearlitic steels present very interesting mechanical properties when weldability requirements are not too severe. Thin gauge pearlitic steels require at least one intermediate annealing treatment between hot rolling and cold rolling. The globularised cementite in medium carbon steels provides then higher ductility, formability and machinability. On the other hand, in-line induction heating devi...

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...
متن کاملDilatometric analysis of cementite dissolution in hypereutectoid steels containing Cr
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 desc...
