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.
