The synthetic isothermal martensitic transformation in high carbon Fe-Ni-C steel
- Helsinki Univ. of Technology, Espoo (Finland). Lab. of Physical Metallurgy and Material Science
For the analyzing of the results from earlier hydrostatic isothermal tests a new athermal test series was conducted. Suitable amounts of martensite were brought into the specimens by quenching. From these specimens the amount of martensite, number of martensitic plates per unit area of random section and hardness were measured. Using the measured data, the effects of the mechanical surrounding around and inside the specimen were taken up for consideration. It seems that the mechanical surrounding inside the specimen have an important effect on martensitic transformation. It also seems that there are temperature dependent components in the transformation. It may be that the temperature dependence of nucleation needed plastic deformation and the temperature dependence of relaxations.
