The austenite/pearlite growth interface in a model alloy steel (Fe-1lMn-0.8C-0.5V nominal wt%) is being studied in an attempt to characterise the morphology and mechanism of VC precipitation at the growth interface. In this alloy pearlite nodules can be grown isothermally in austenite that remains stable at room temperature thus facilitating examination of the transformation interfaces. This study presents preliminary results of thin foil TEM of the precipitation of VC at the austenite/ferrite interface, which reaction, termed interphase precipitation, occurs in a number of low- carbon HSLA and microalloyed medium- and high- carbon steels. Some observations of interphase precipitation in microalloyed low- and medium- carbon commercial steels are also reported for comparison as this reaction can be responsible for a significant increase in strength in a wide range of commercial steels.The experimental alloy was made as 50 g argon arc melts using high purity materials and homogenised. Samples were solution treated at 1300 °C for 1 hr and WQ. Specimens were then solutionised at 1300 °C for 15 min. and isothermally transformed at 620 °C for 10-18hrs. and WQ. Specimens of microalloyed commercial steels were studied in either as-rolled or as- forged conditions. Detailed procedures of thin foil preparation for TEM are given elsewhere.

Recent advances in the nuclear power generation field have pointed out the need for ferritic steels which will maintain properties at high operating temperatures for extended periods of time. Present designs for the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project (CRBRP) specify the use of low carbon 2 1/4 Cr - 1 Mo steel for the Steam Generation systems. Many materials development programs have concluded the acceptability of this material; however, little industrial data are available on the mechanical properties of full size production components. This paper evaluates two heats of low carbon 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel subjected to various heat treatments.

This paper focuses on the analysis of the microstructure and of the texture through the sheet thickness after temper rolling of very thin ferritic steels. The study uses EBSD and X-Ray diffraction. Comparison is made between an interstitial-free (IF) steel and of some industrial low carbon ferritic steels used after ageing. The experimental results are discussed with respect to the anisotropy of the mechanical behaviour after temper rolling during simple shear tests.
