Abstract
Low-carbon, low-alloy steels undergo auto-tempering and carbon partitioning to austenite during quenching to martensite. The microstructures of two such steels quenched at two cooling rates have been evaluated using electron microscopy to characterise lath and carbide precipitate morphologies, and the results have been compared with theoretical predictions based on the Thermo-Calc modules DICTRA and TC-Prisma. The modelling tools predicted the carbon depletion rates due to diffusion from the bcc martensite laths into austenite and the precipitation of cementite in the ferrite matrix. The predictions showed a satisfactory agreement with the metallographic results, indicating that the Thermo-Calc based software can aid in the design of new low-carbon martensitic steels.
