Influence of carbon on hardness and strength of steels
With increasing carbon, the hardness and strength of unalloyed steels increases. Above a content of 0.8% C, the strength decreases.
As the carbon content increases,...
Phase transformations of steels in solidified state (metastable system)
Depending on the carbon content, further phase transformations take place in the steel in the solidified state. The cooled microstructure consists of pearlite and...
Microstructure formation of steels during solidification
Steels solidify as solid solutions. The face-centered cubic lattice structure with the embedded carbon atom is called austenite.
