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.


Hardness of martensite as a function of carbon content?

60*sqrt(C)+20 HRC


Why martensite has BCT structure?

when austenite change into martensite, change in the temprature occurs(cooling). Due to this thermal stress devlop between the core and surface . Surface try to expand and core try to compress the size due to this a change in 'c' parameter take place. So a=b but not=c . this is called BCT stracture.


How carbon content affects microstructure microstructure constituents of steel explain wihe the aid of sketches?

Carbon content significantly influences the microstructure and constituents of steel. As carbon content increases, the formation of different phases occurs, including ferrite, pearlite, bainite, and martensite. Low-carbon steels typically have a microstructure dominated by ferrite and pearlite, while higher carbon steels can develop martensite, leading to increased hardness and strength. Sketches can illustrate these phases, with low-carbon steel showing a mix of ferrite and pearlite, and high-carbon steel displaying a predominance of martensite.

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.

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.

What happens to austenite during quenching?

During quenching, austenite transforms into martensite through a rapid cooling process. This transformation involves the carbon atoms being trapped within the crystal lattice structure of the martensite, resulting in a hard and brittle microstructure.


How do you make 100 pearlite bainite martensite?

To make 100% pearlite, the steel should be slowly cooled, while bainite and martensite are achieved through rapid cooling. Each microstructure has different heat treatment processes that must be followed to form. A combination of these processes can be used to achieve a mix of pearlite, bainite, and martensite in varying percentages based on the cooling rate and temperature control during heat treatment.


Why martensitic transformation never goes to 100 percent completion?

because austenite cannot be fully converted into martensite.


What is trip steel?

TRIP steel is Transformation Induced Plasticity steel. It is a composite steel that consists of ferrite, bainite, martensite precipitants and restrained austenite. The austenite will transform into martensite when strained, thus increasing the strength of the steel. To stabilize the austenite you need to introduce alloy elements, usually Manganese.
