Influence of carbon on hardness and strength of steels

With increasing carbon, the hardness and strength of unalloyed steels increases. Above a content of 0.8% C, the strength decreases. As the carbon content increases, the proportion of cementite in the steel...
Overview of the microstructure formation of steels

Summary of the phase transformations of steel

In this article, a summary is given about the phase transformations during solidification and cooling of steel. https://youtu.be/b581J_SmCM4 Introduction In the article Phase transformations in the solidified state the microstructural changes of steels during...
Comparison of the iron-carbon phase diagram with the phase diagram of a crystal mixture

Comparison of phase transformations in steels

Phase transformations in steels can be compared to those of solid solutions (completely soluble) and crystal mixtures (completely insoluble). https://youtu.be/b581J_SmCM4 The figure below shows steel part of the iron-carbon phase diagram of the...
