Structural Transformations of High-Carbon Austenite

Abstract

In the present work structural transformations of high-carbon austenite is investigated. The effects of thermal conditions on the ductile iron
structure transformation are evaluated by metallographic analyses, TEM, X-ray and mechanical testing. It has been shown that austenite
transformation by quenching and isothermal annealing at the intermediate temperatures is similar for the examined cast irons and high-carbon
steels.
