Conclusions
-
1.
It was confirmed that slow heating, and especially isothermal annealing, in the intercritical temperature range (Ac1-Ac3) produces a redistribution of alloying elements: ferrite-forming elements migrate to the ferrite, and austenite-forming to the austenite.
-
2.
The inhomogeneity of alloying element distribution is retained (to varying degrees) upon heating to high temperatures (up to 1280°C).
