In Situ Neutron Diffraction During Thermo-Mechanically Controlled Process for Low Alloy Steels

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Neutron diffraction has been employed to study microstructural evolution in situ during heat treatment or thermo-mechanically controlled process for low alloy steels. Transformation kinetics, texture, carbon enrichment and internal stresses can be tracked and these data are useful to develop new processing to realize optimum microstructures.
