Transformations of Supercooled Austenite in a Promising High-Strength Steel Grade Under Continuous Cooling Conditions

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Special features of the transformations of supercooled austenite occurring under continuous cooling of a promising high-strength steel grade not standardized in the Russian Federation are determined. A method for evaluating the volume fractions of structure constituents formed in the steel as a result of cooling from 925°C at various constant rates within 0.025 – 75 K/sec is proposed and tested. The results are generalized in the form of a thermokinetic diagram of transformations of supercooled austenite.
