Mechanism of Austenite Evolution During Deformation of Ultra-High Carbon Steel

摘要

The mechanism of transformation of austenite to cementite and pearlite during the deformation of ultra-high carbon steel was discussed. The results indicate that the pearlite and cementite can be induced by deformation be-tween Acm to Arcm. The transformation during deformation is still considered as a diffusion-controlled process. With the increase of time and reduction, the pearlite fraction increased. At the beginning of the transformation, the pearli- te was lamelliform. When the rate of reduction was increased to 70%, some of the induced lamellar pearlite was bro-ken up under deformation.
