Abstract

Relevance of the Mössbauer spectroscopy in the investigation of the σ-phase in Fe-Cr and Fe-V systems, base alloys for technologically important steels, will be demonstrated by showing its standard applications in identification of σ, quantitative study of the kinetics of α-to-σ phase transformation and determination of the Curie and Debye temperatures.
