Q

What is martensite?

A

Formed by the rapid cooling of austenite, in which traps carbon causing it to be more brittle.

Q

What is tempered martensite?

A

Much harder and stronger than martensite as it has more ferrite-cementite phase boundaries, this allows it to have dislocation motion.

Q

What is upper bainite?

A

Made up of ferrite and cementite is precipitated between the ferrite plates.
Formed at higher temperatures than lower bainite.
The lines of cementite in the material as they are parallel.
Not as hard as lower bainite.

Q

What is lower bainite?

A

Made up of ferrite and cementite that is precipitated between the ferrite plates.
Formed from lower temperatures than upper bainite.
Has more grade boundaries which makes it harder, as they will block the dislocation.

Q

What is spheroidite?

A

Formed by the reheating (700º)of; ferrite+cementite (pearlite) and bainite.
Need to reheat for a long time to diffuse the carbon out.

Q

What is course pearlite?

A

Made up of ferrite and cementite.
Weaker than fine pearlite, as the finer the layers the more resistance to slip. (still not very hard and quite ductile)
Made from the slow cooling of austenite.

Q

From Hardest to most ductile what is the order for non-equilibrium transformation products?

A

Martensite, tempered martensite, lower bainite, upper bainite, fine pearlite, coarse pearlite and spheroidite.

17
Q

How does weight percentage of carbon affect the hardness of the material?

A

directly proportional, increase with it.

18
Q

How does the weight percentage of carbon affect the ductility of material?

A

Indirectly proportional decreases with it.

19
Q

What is tempering?

A

The process of heating a metal below its melting point then cooling it in air, this increases it brittleness and increasing toughness.

20
Q

What is quenching?

A

When you rapidly cooling a material (e.g in oil or water) in order to increase the hardness of a material.

21
Q

What causes equilibrium products?

A

Slow cooling of austinite

22
Q

What causes non-equilibrium products?

A

Moderate/fast cooling of austinite

23
Q

What is an isothermal diagram look like?

A

Temperature against time, to show what can be produced during quenching and tempering

24
Q

What is the temperature that pearlite become bainite on an isothermal diagram?

A

540º

25
Q

Which pearlite and bainite are above the other on an IT diagram?

A

Coarse pearlite and upper bainite.

26
Q

What is the difference between hypo and hyper eutectoidic isothermal diagrams?

A

Hypo will have ferrite

Hyper will have cementite
