Diffusion of phosphorus in steel in the pearlite and two-phase region

Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    It was established that the transformation of steel into the heterophase condition is accompanied by the acceleration of phosphorus diffusion.

  2. 2.

    The reduced susceptibility of steel to reversible temper brittleness after prolonged high-temperature tempering is due to more complete equalization of the phosphorus concentration in austenite grains.

  3. 3.

    In selecting the heat treatment conditions (particularly for structural castings) it should be kept in mind that the structure of the steel can affect the diffusion of alloying elements and phosphorus.
