Study of phase changes in steel results in new standard.(MATERIALS SCIENCE/R & D)

Advanced Materials & Processes, November, 2004

A collaborative study on quantitative measurement of steel phase transformations by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) in cooperation with over a dozen companies has resulted in a new ASTM standard, A 1033: Practice for Quantitative Measurement and Reporting of Hypoeutectoid Carbon and Low-Alloys Steel Phase Transformations.

The study, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy under AISI's Technology Roadmap Project, also resulted in the production of extensive and detailed steel phase transformation data for medium-carbon grade SAE 1050 and alloy steel SAE 8620. This information is important because it is necessary for process simulation models that predict residual stress, distortion, and microstructure evolution during manufacturing processes....
