Austenite is a solid and, in general, will be polycrystalline. The formation of ferrite and iron carbide will start at the austenite grain boundaries and the final pearlite microstructure will have ...
Changing the carbon content of the alloy changes the microstructure of the pearlite and hence the mechanical properties ... Before transforming to pearlite, this material phases through the two-phase ...
The initial EBSD phase map illustrated that the as-built microstructure was a duplex structure consisting of major austenite (γ) and minor ferrite phases, some of which showed non-traditional ...
