Three-Dimensional Approach to Observing Growth of Blocks and Packets in Fe-18Ni Maraging Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study aims to clarify the development of blocks and packets in lath martensite in Fe–18Ni maraging steel using three-dimensional observations. The specimens were step-quenched in order to clarify the sequential development of the three-dimensional morphology in a prior austenite grain. In a prior austenite grain, we found that five independent packets formed during the early stage of martensitic transformation. Four of the packets exist along the prior austenite grain boundaries and one packet grows from the boundary edge into the prior austenite grain. Each packet consists of a single block, although the fraction of martensitic transformation is 50.6%. The observed rules of the block-selection are as follows: (1) the blocks have near Kurdjumov–Sachs orientation relationship with adjacent austenite grains and elongated directions of the laths are parallel to adjacent grain boundaries and (2) transformation shear directions of the laths are parallel to adjacent grain boundaries.
