The introduction of “clean steels” was thought to have cured the problem of temper embrittlement in low alloy steels. However, even these steels exhibit temper embrittlement at services temperature above 400°C. Initial studies of temper embrittlement of clean steels used Auger electron spectrometry of fracture surfaces. The failure was found to occur along the prior austenite grain boundaries (PAGBs) where P segregation was found. It has been reported that the concentration of segregants changes along individual PAGB facets, as well as between the facets of different PAGBs. It was proposed that different elements segregate to different PAGBs, depending on their orientation. Differences in segregation along individual PAGBs were attributed to precipitation during thermal exposure, as identified by AEM. The cause of temper embrittlement is still unknown, as there are doubts about the role of precipitation. This implies that each PAGB may have a different chemistry.
