The present study has been undertaken to compare the microstructure of the plain carbon steel, containing 0.65 carbon, which was formed during varying isothermal and continuous cooling conditions following austenitisation at the same temperature and soaking time. After austenitisation, one set of samples was subjected to isothermal treatment which was carried out at a temperature varying in the range of 650–400 °C, and the other one was continuously cooled to ambient temperature using different cooling rates ranging from 500 to 1.4 °Cs–1. The metallographic examination of the samples was fulfilled using light and TEM microscopy. Additionally, Vickers hardness measurements were performed.

Super Steel

Super steel has the same chemical composition as plain carbon steel, but its yield strength is higher than plain carbon steel because it has finer grain size. The products of super steel sheet have been used in automobile parts, which not only improves the quality of the automobiles, but also reduces the cost and weight of automobiles, decreases energy consumption and environmental pollution. At present, several automobile manufacturers have applied the super steel products to their parts, such as Across Beam and Longitude Beam, Automotive wheel, et al. This paper introduces the tensile test, cold bending test and metallographic examination for 500MPa grade super steel sheet that have been done. The hardening index, value of plastic strain ratio, yield strength, tensile strength, even percentage elongation and other mechanical performances have been studied. The press forming performance of 500MPa grade super steel has been analyzed too. It can be used for guidance of stamping production.

The microstructure of the advanced low carbon steel with a superior hardenability was studied. The steel contained the following main alloying elements, wt. %: C – 0.20; Cr – 2.0; Mn – 2.0; Si – 1.04 Ni – 1.0; Mo – 0.3. The dilatometer investigation of the steel under consideration revealed the only phase transformation occurring during continuous cooling (0.1...30 °C/s), which started at the martensite start temperature Ms. It was shown that the isothermal treatment of the studied steel led to the bainite formation above and below Ms. The temperature of the bainite morphology shift was determined.

Carbon Filaments

Considerable effort has been directed toward an improved understanding of the production of the strong and stiff ∼ 1-20 μm diameter pyrolytic carbon fibers of the type reported by Koyama and, more recently, by Tibbetts. These macroscopic fibers are produced when pyrolytic carbon filaments (∼ 0.1 μm or less in diameter) are thickened by deposition of carbon during thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon gases. Each such precursor filament normally lengthens in association with an attached catalyst particle. The subject of filamentous carbon formation and much of the work on characterization of the catalyst particles have been reviewed thoroughly by Baker and Harris. However, identification of the catalyst particles remains a problem of continuing interest. The purpose of this work was to characterize the microstructure of the pyrolytic carbon filaments and the catalyst particles formed inside stainless steel and plain carbon steel tubes. For the present study, natural gas (∼; 97 % methane) was passed through type 304 stainless steel and SAE 1020 plain carbon steel tubes at 1240°K.

Abstract SAE 1025 is a plain carbon steel for general-purpose construction and engineering. It is used in the hot-worked, cold-worked, normalized or water-quenched-and-tempered condition. It also is carburized and used for case-hardened parts. Its many uses include bolts, forgings, axles, machinery components, cold-extruded parts, pressure vessels, case-hardened parts, chain and sprocket assemblies, spinning tools and permanent-mold castings. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CS-114. Producer or source: Carbon steel mills.
