MATERIALE I An I Engleză Curs 10 STRUCTURES OBTAINED THROUGH HEAT TREATMENTS Pearlite – type structures = Ferrite + Fe C 3 1. Coarse pearlite: lamellar (equilibrium), globular (globulization annealing) 180 – 220 HB, A max.=12%, Rm = 700 – 800 MPa; higher toughness for globular pearlite 2. Sorbitic pearlite: fine lamellar, obtained through the cooling of austenite max.280 HB, Rm over 800 MPa Sorbite: oriented fine lamellar structure; obtained through the heating of martensite Rm over 850 MPa, optimum strength / toughness ratio 3. Troostite: very fine lamellar ~ 400 HB, highest strength for pearlite (Rm900 MPa) Martensitic structures Martensite = oversaturated solid solution of C in Feα 1. Quenching martensite: white sheets (needles); Tetragonal structure, stressed; highest strength (Rm 1100 MPa), lowest toughness 2. Tempered martensite: black sheets (needles) Smaller stresses, higher toughness; obtained through the heating of quenching (tempering) Bainitic structures (intermediate) Bainite = mechanical admixtures of oversaturated of C and carbides that did not reach the Fe C 3 stage 1. Upper bainite: resembling troostite; obtained isothermally at 400 – 450°C; ~ 450 HB; 2. Lower bainite: resembling tempered martensite; obtained isothermally at 300 – 350°C; ~550 HB 1 MATERIALE I An I Engleză Curs 10 ANNEALINGS Annealings = HT characterized by slow cooling (most rapid – in air) Stress relief annealing: for the relief of the
