| Abstract Scope |
The current state-of-the-art processes used for steel heat treatments are highly energy intensive and environmentally damaging. Innovative induction-coupled thermomagnetic processing (ITMP) is a promising, energy-efficient alternative, where the incorporation of a high static magnetic field alters the phase equilibria and transformation kinetics of steel in such a way that it can improve microstructural and mechanical properties. Literature indicates alterations in the solubility of carbon, but the information available is insufficient to engineer improved steel heat treatments. The current investigation uses diffusion couple experiments and electron backscatter diffraction to examine the phase development and morphology of martensite and pearlite in binary Fe-C alloys processed under varied temperatures and fields. In addition, the role of the field in microstructure development and diffusion kinetics is discussed. |
