Abstract

Austenization processes in 10Kh3G3MF low-carbon steel in the initially cold-worked state are investigated during its continuous heating in an intercritical temperature range. The austenization of this steel has three stages, which is shown by dilatometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and transmission electron microscopy. The thermokinetic diagram of the austenite formation in 10Kh3G3MF steel is constructed. Critical points A c1 and A c2 and temperature ranges of austenite formation at every stage of the α → γ transformation at heating rates of 0.6–400 K/s are determined.
