Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Abstract

The chemical composition of phases and the structure of commercial α + β brasses are studied. The effect of heat treatment modes on the amount and morphology of α-and β′-grains and the effect of the content of iron on the composition and quantitative characteristics of silicides are determined. Practical recommendations on the choice of treatment mode and correction of chemical composition for obtaining optimum process and operating properties are suggested.
