In as-weld condition, microstructures of weld metal and PMZ show ledeburitic carbide and alloyed pearlite, but differ with their amount. Whereas microstructure of HAZ shows pearlite with some ...

The banded microstructure of pearlite and ferrite in normalized alloy steel is susceptible to thermal distortion during carburizing process due to its unidirectional orientation parallel to rolling ...

The formation of ferrite and iron carbide will start at the austenite grain boundaries and the final pearlite microstructure will have lamella of ferrite and cementite. This is illustrated on the ...

Pearlite is made of alternating nanolayers of cementite and ferrite. The cementite helps make it strong, while the ferrite helps make it ductile. However, until now researchers did not know ...

The microstructure is now a ploycrystalline pearlite with the hard-brittle proeutectoid cementite on the grain boundaries. This structure makes the alloy more brittle than the eutectoid pearlite ...
