Abstract

The role of cementite in the mechanisms of formation of the coercive force of high-purity 60 and 13 model steels and 9A and 12A industrial steels after quenching and subsequent medium- and high-temperature tempering is determined from the analysis of the temperature dependences of the coercive force. It is shown that cementite as a hard-magnetic phase plays an important part in the formation of the dependence H c (T temp) measured at room temperature. The maximum contribution caused by the coercivity of cementite to H c of the model steels is proportional to the volume content of cementite. In the industrial steels, an effect on the coercivity of cementite is produced by carbideforming unavoidable impurities.
