Conclusions

  1. 1.

    We determined the relationship between the amounts of the ε- and χ-carbides and cementite in U8, U10, and U12 steels at 120–600°C.

     
  2. 2.

    We established the temperature limits within which the carbides are stable: the ε-carbide is formed at low temperatures and is stable up to 200°C; at higher temperatures it decomposes intensely, forming cementite and χ-carbide. The χ-carbide is stable up to 400°C; at higher temperatures it is transformed into cementite. The χ- and χ-carbide decompose completely only as the result of tempering at 600°C.

     
  3. 3.

    We obtained data which allowed us to ascertain that the compositions of the ε- and χ-carbides are the same and correspond to the stoichiometric formula: Fe9C2.

     
  4. 4.

    We have given a sequence of reactions which, in our opinion, explain the processes occurring during tempering of quenched high-carbon steels.
