A historical overview of steel tempering parameters

TLDR
The results of the stress relieving and tempering processes are dependent on the temperature and time of the process, which may be correlated using a parameter such as Holloman's (Holloman-Jaffe) parameter or the Larsen-Miller parameter.
Abstract
The results of the stress relieving and tempering processes are dependent on the temperature and time of the process, which may be correlated using a parameter such as Holloman's (Holloman-Jaffe) parameter or the Larsen-Miller parameter. These parameters are a measure of the thermal effect of the process on the metallurgical transformation of the steel during tempering. The processes that exhibit the same tempering parameter are expected to exhibit the same effect (such as hardness). However, these more traditional numerical expressions assume isothermal tempering processes which seldom exist in production tempering ovens due to the heat-up period prior to soaking

Characterisation and modelling of tempering during multi-pass welding

TL;DR: In this article, a thermal-metallurgical-mechanical model was developed to simulate multi-pass welding while accounting for tempering kinetics of martensite/bainite.

Surface layer modification charts for gear grinding

TL;DR: In this article, an approach to predict thermo-mechanically induced changes of sub-surface properties during discontinuous profile gear grinding is presented, which faces industrial boundary conditions, such as varying material stock removal as well as the drawback of possible localized thermal damage on the ground tooth flanks.

Addressing H-Material Interaction in Fast Diffusion Materials-A Feasibility Study on a Complex Phase Steel.

TL;DR: An in-situ method with plasma charging was applied to provide continuous H supply during mechanical testing in order to avoid H outgassing, resulting in consistent low H values, below the critical concentration to produce embrittlement.

Mechanical Properties and Microstructure ofLarge Steel Forgings for Applications in theEnergy Sector

TL;DR: In this article, a CCT diagram was constructed by means of quenching dilatometry in order to validate the microstructural changes produced during industrial quenchings, which consisted of mixtures of martensite and bainite.

Kinetics of Phase Change. I General Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the theory of phase change is developed with the experimentally supported assumptions that the new phase is nucleated by germ nuclei which already exist in the old phase, and whose number can be altered by previous treatment.

Kinetics of Phase Change. II Transformation‐Time Relations for Random Distribution of Nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, a relation between the actual transformed volume V and a related extended volume V1 ex is derived upon statistical considerations, and a rough approximation to this relation is shown to lead, under the proper conditions, to the empirical formula of Austin and Rickett.

Granulation, Phase Change, and Microstructure Kinetics of Phase Change. III

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive description of the phenomena of phase change may be summarized in Phase Change, Grain Number and Microstructure Formulas or Diagrams, giving, respectively, the transformed volume, grain, and microstructure densities as a function of time, temperature, and other variables.

Kinetics of phase change

TL;DR: The kinetic model for change of phases developed by M. Avrami at the end of the thirties has been used to describe the temporal behavior of phase changes as discussed by the authors.
