Research Abstract

We have developed highly performance-high temperature optical microscope for in-situ observation at phase transformation behaviors of pure irons and ultra-low carbon steels.
The measurement of temperature of the specimens were performed by Pt-Pt/13%Rh thermocouple of 0.2mm phi diameter which was spot welded directly at the edge of specimen. The specimens was cooled with a high temperature optical microscope at cooling rates between 0.5-20゚C/sec and about 100゚C/sec from 1000゚C to room temperature. gamma*alpha transformation behaviors was recorded at 200 frames/sec with high speed VTR system.
Main results were as follows : The gamma/alpha interface crosses the gamma grain during gamma*alpha transformation in pure iron cooled at 0.5-20゚C/sec. It is known that a grain size in pure iron is very large comparing with that of usual carbon steels because gamma grain size is originally large and gamma/alpha interface to cross the gamma grain boundary is easy. Therefore, it is thought that the cooling rate dependency on grain size of the a phase becomes small.
