Abstract:1C (wt pct) steel in a multi-step heat-treated condition called 'QLT' is understood by tracking its evolution in each step using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography; further, the consequence of high strain-rate deformation on the site-specific change in the QLT microstructure is examined by microdiffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy in the TEM. The QLT treatment results in two generations of austenite (arising from the Land the T-step) with differing Ni content. The primar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
