Superior Quality Rails: Structure-Phase States and Defect Substructure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using transmission electron microscopy methods the layer by layer analysis of the bulk hardened superior quality rails is carried out and the quantitative parameters of structure, phase state and defect substructure gradients are established. It is shown that the interface boundaries globular cementite particles-matrix are the possible places of microcracks initiation.
