Conclusions
-
1.
The dark troostite network in the case of carbonitrided steels is a discontinuous chain of carbonitrides (in hypereutectoid steels) or ferrite (in hypoeutectoid steels) in the boundaries of former austenite grains.
-
2.
The troostite network can be aliminated by increasing the carbon potential of the carbonitriding atmosphere (with formation of a ferrite network) or by increasing the quenching rate.
