Phase Transformation Sheet

The document provides instructions for analyzing phase transformations on an isothermal transformation diagram for a 0.45 wt% C steel alloy. It includes sketching time-temperature paths to produce various microstructures and determining the final microstructure for different time-temperature treatments. It also includes sketching time-temperature paths and describing heat treatments to convert between different microstructures.

Phase Transformation Sheet

1. Make a copy of the isothermal transformation diagram for an iron–carbon alloy of


eutectoid composition (in the figure) and then sketch and label time–temperature paths on
this diagram to produce the following microstructures:
(a) 100% fine pearlite
(b) 100% tempered martensite
(c) 50% coarse pearlite, 25% bainite, and 25% martensite

2. Using the isothermal transformation diagram for a 0.45 wt% C steel alloy (Figure 10.39),
determine the final microstructure (in terms of just the microconstituents present) of a
small specimen that has been subjected to the following time–temperature treatments. In
each case assume that the specimen begins at 845°C (1550°F) and that it has been held at
this temperature long enough to have achieved a complete and homogeneous austenitic
structure.
(a) Rapidly cool to 250°C (480°F), hold for 103s, then quench to room temperature.
(b) Rapidly cool to 700°C (1290°F), hold for 30 s, then quench to room temperature.
(c) Rapidly cool to 400°C (750° F), hold for 500 s, then quench to room temperature.
(d) Rapidly cool to 700°C (1290°F), hold at this temperature for 105s, then quench to
room temperature.
(e) Rapidly cool to 650°C (1200°F), hold at this temperature for 3 s, rapidly cool to
400°C (750°F), hold for 10 s, then quench to room temperature.
(f) Rapidly cool to 450°C (840°F), hold for 10 s, then quench to room temperature.
(g) Rapidly cool to 625°C (1155°F), hold for 1 s, then quench to room temperature.
(h) Rapidly cool to 625°C (1155°F), hold at this temperature for 10 s, rapidly cool to
400°C (750°F), hold at this temperature for 5 s, then quench to room temperature.
3. Make a copy of the isothermal transformation diagram for a 0.45 wt% C iron–carbon
alloy (Figure 10.39), and then sketch and label on this diagram the time–temperature
paths to produce the following microstructures:
(a) 42% proeutectoid ferrite and 58% coarse pearlite
(b) 50% fine pearlite and 50% bainite
(c) 100% martensite
(d) 50% martensite and 50% austenite

4. Briefly describe the simplest heat treatment procedure that would be used in converting a
0.76 wt% C steel from one microstructure to the other, as follows:
(a) Spheroidite to tempered martensite
(b) Tempered martensite to pearlite
(c) Bainite to martensite
(d) Martensite to pearlite
(e) Pearlite to tempered martensite
(f) Tempered martensite to pearlite
(g) Bainite to tempered martensite
(h) Tempered martensite to spheroidite
