Quantitative Metallography of Microstructure of Austenitic and Transformed States in Microalloyed Steels

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the course of our experiments we have developed an etching process by means of which the austenite grains formed subsequent to roughing can be made visible in the case of Grade X80Mo0 and X80Mo2 microalloyed steels. The definition of the size and elongation of the grains enables the production process to be optimized and the microstructure features associated with the desired mechanical properties attained thereby.
