Low carbon content <0.6% results in lath structure as opposed to plate or needle structure for high carbon content >0.6%

Difference between lath martensite and plate martensite?

Lath martensite and plate martensite are two morphologies of martensite formed during the rapid cooling of austenitic steel. Lath martensite appears as thin, elongated plates or laths and is typically found in low-carbon steels, resulting in a more ductile microstructure. In contrast, plate martensite consists of thicker, broader plates and is generally found in high-carbon steels, leading to higher hardness and brittleness. The differences in their formation and structure influence the mechanical properties of the steel they comprise.


Which is the harder among them Cementite or Martensite?

Martensite


What are some uses for martensite?

hardness of martensite is greater than bionite and fine pearlite.


Why martensite is so hard and brittle?

For two reasons: 1. martensite is bct structure which prevent the movement of dislocations. 2. martensite has higher carbon concentraton.

Is martensite formed when a steel is quenched?

Martensite transformation begins when austenite is cooled below a certain critical temperature, called the matrensite start temperature. As we go below the tmartensite start temperature, more and more martensite forms and complete transformation occurs only at a temperature called martensire finish temp. Formation of martensite require that the austenite phase must be cooled rapidly.


Does metal lath require furring?

No. The metal lath replaces the wood furring.

What are the release dates for The Lath of Life - 1916?

Why pearlite makes steel harder?

Because Martensite transformation is almost instantaneous, the Martensite has the identical composition of the parent phase. Formation of Martensite involves a transformation from a body-centered cubic structure to body-centered tetragonal structure. The large increase in volume that results creates a highly stressed structure.
