Lecture 03/29 Flashcards
Most heat treatments for steels involve?
Continuous cooling
For continuous cooling, the time required for a reaction is?
Delayed
What is the critical quenching rate?
Minimum rate of quenching that produces a totally martensitic structure
Fine pearlite is _ and _ than coarse pearlite?
Harder and stronger
Coarse pearlite is more _ than fine pearlite?
Ductile
Spheroidite is the _ and _ of all steel alloys?
Weakest and softest
The ductility and toughness of martensite may be enhanced by?
Tempering
Quenched martensite is?
Very hard/brittle
What is the difference between tempered and quenched martensite?
Tempered has substantially enhanced ductility and toughness
What is temper embrittlement?
Reduction of toughness as measure by impact tests when steel is tempered in certain conditions
What are shape memory alloys?
After being deformed, a material returns to its previous size and shape after being heated
What is thermoelastic deformation?
Non-permanent when the deformed material is heat treated
CCT diagrams are modified by?
Shifting transformation beginning/ending curves to longer times and lower temperatures
Bainite is _ and _ than pearlitic steels?
Stronger and harder
Martensite is the most?
Hard, strong, and brittle
