We present phase transitions in a low carbon steel according to existing phases and their magnetism. Scanning electron microscope employed research to clarify and evaluate the microstructural details. Additionally, we utilized from Mössbauer spectroscopy for magnetic characteristics of different existed phases. Scanning electron microscope examinations showed that the pure state of the steel was fully in the ferrite phase with equiaxed grains. Moreover, subsequent heat treatments on the studied steel also ensured the first austenite and then pearlite phase formation. Mössbauer spectroscopy of these phases appeared as a paramagnetic single-line absorption peak for the austenite phase and ferromagnetic six-line spectra for both ferrite and pearlite phases. From Mössbauer data, we determined that the internal magnetic fields of ferrite and pearlite phases were as 32.2 Tesla and 31.3 Tesla, respectively.

In this mini-review, we consider the results of various meteorite studies using Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution in order to reveal the minor spectral components related to spinels such as chromite, hercynite, magnesiochromite, magnesioferrite and daubréelite in bulk meteorite matter or in some extracted phases. Spinels observation in the Mössbauer spectra is supported by characterization of the studied samples by means of optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. Mössbauer parameters obtained for extraterrestrial spinels are compared with those obtained for terrestrial analogs published in the literature.

As-quenched low-carbon martensitic steels (<0.2 wt.% C) contain auto-tempered carbides. Auto-tempering improves the work hardening and upper-shelf impact energy; however, an efficient characterization method to determine the degree of auto-tempering has not been available. This paper demonstrates an efficient image processing tool that calculates the relative auto-tempered carbide fraction by analyzing scanning electron microscope micrographs. By the process of image segmentation, the qualitative volume fraction of auto-tempered carbides can be determined, and an associated color map produced, which distinguished the levels of auto-tempering. This image processing tool could become useful for the optimization of new low-carbon steel’s mechanical properties.
