Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study we investigated precipitation of Fe2M (Laves) phase along a eutectoid-type transformation pathway from delta ferrite to austenite + Laves to aim at establishing a new microstructure controlling method in heat resistant ferritic steels. The main results are: (1) There are two types of precipitation sequences: interphase precipitation and pearlite type reaction. (2) The interphase precipitation takes place only in a very short time period at high temperatures, which indicates that it is necessary to slow down the reaction to use it in practice. (3) Pearlite type reaction is about 3 orders of magnitude slower than the interphase precipitation, which can be easily applied into practical thermomechanical processing.
