Effect of Alloying elements in Steel, TTT diagram and Phase transformation diagram
Effect of alloying elements in steel is explained along with their effect on Phase diagram and TTT diagram. Their chracterisitcs are also summarized here.
What is TTT Diagram of Steel? How to Read TTT Diagram and What are the Applications of TTT Diagram?
TTT diagram of steel is used for studying non-equilibirum tranformation in steel. Guide is given to study TTT diagram and its application in Material science.
White Cast Iron – Types, Microstructure and Applications
White Cast iron is used in wear resistant applications like Cusher and ginding mill liners. Chromium and nickel iron are alloying types of white iron.
Cast Iron Types – Microstructure
Cast Iron types are distinguished with microstructure and, with unique microstructure, uniques properties are associated. Follow the link for more details.
Cast Iron – Microstructure and Properties
Cast Iron being alloy of carbon and iron has variety of types due to microstructure development. Key is morphology of carbon flakes. Follow the link.
Types of Microstructure and It s Scaling
Scaling of microstructure is very important for depiting true picture of microstructure. procedure for right way of scaling is discussed in detail here…
Quenching steel – mechanism and quenching media
Quenching of steel results in martensite. Amount of martensitic formation depends upon how fastly quenching media like water, brine and air extracts heat.
Widmanstatten Structure in Steel – Mechanism and Properties
Widmanstatten structure in steel lowers hardness but they have some applications too. Find out microstructural development and ways to eliminate it.
Martensitic Transformation – Austenitizing temperature effect
Martensitic transformation happens when carbon steel, after heating above A1 line, cools drastically with cooling rate higher than critical cooling rate.
