Abstract
In this work, the influence of part dimensions on the microstructure of low-alloy steel during its austempering has been studied. 0.41C-0.24Si-0.63Mn-0.93Cr steel of different diameters ranging from 5 to 16 mm has been austempered at 350 °C for 10 min. Despite similar austempering conditions, an increase in the size and fraction of acicular/polygonal ferrite has been noted with an increase in the diameter of the samples. From the experimental observations and analytical calculations based on multi-dimensional transient heat transfer analysis, the cooling rate during austempering has been observed to increase with a decrease in the sample diameter. Variation in ferrite grain size and fraction is due to different cooling rates encountered by different sized specimens during austempering. Close agreement between the experimental and theoretically estimated ferrite grain size due to variation in cooling rate during austempering has been noted.
期刊介绍:
steel research international is a journal providing a forum for the publication of high-quality manuscripts in areas ranging from process metallurgy and metal forming to materials engineering as well as process control and testing. The emphasis is on steel and on materials involved in steelmaking and the processing of steel, such as refractories and slags.
steel research international welcomes manuscripts describing basic scientific research as well as industrial research. The journal received a further increased, record-high Impact Factor of 1.522 (2018 Journal Impact Factor, Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2019)).
The journal was formerly well known as "Archiv für das Eisenhüttenwesen" and "steel research"; with effect from January 1, 2006, the former "Scandinavian Journal of Metallurgy" merged with Steel Research International.
Hot Topics:
-Steels for Automotive Applications
-High-strength Steels
-Sustainable steelmaking
-Interstitially Alloyed Steels
-Electromagnetic Processing of Metals
