TITLE: Contribution on the Influence of Alloying on the Kinetics of the Pearlite Transformation PERIODICAL: Fizika metallov I metallovedeniye, 1959, Vol 8, Nr 2, pp 216 - 224 (USSR) ABSTRACT: Considerable differences of opinion exist (R.I. Entin et al - Refs 1-4) on the reasons for the Influence of alloying elements on the kinetics of the pearlite trans- formation in austenite. This transformation, the authors point out, is important not only in eutectoidal but also in hyper- and hypo-outectoidal steels since the excess ferrite (or cementite) liberated in the early stages of the tran formation leads to the attainment of the eutectoidal state. To elucidate the influence of alloying elements the relation between the rate of formation of-centres of the new phase, the lateral rate of growth of the pearlite grain, the alloying element concentration and the transformation temperature were studied. The authors use available-information (Ya. S. Cardl/4 Umanskiy et al - Refs 6-8) to discuss these relations. Contribution on the Influence sov/126-8-2-10/26 Pearlite Transformation of Alloying on the Kinetics of the They consider the movement of the austenite/pearlite boundary, ignoring its curvature, obtaining an equation from which the rate of growth of a pearlite grain in the eutectoldal transformation of both unalloyed and alloyed steel; the equation, unli-ke previous ones (Refs 4,9) has no constants determined from rates found experimentally. As a first approximation, the authors assume that the change of activation energy for the y ---I, a iron transformation on alloying corresponds to the change of that of the self-diffusion. From their equation the authors conclude that alloying can reduce the rate of rearrangement of the iron lattice to such an extent that it becomes rate-controlling. To calculate the rate of growth of pearl1te grzid_ns depending on diffusion of carbon in alloyed austenite, the authors use their previous (Ref 12) results, allowing for the considerable influence Card 2/4 SOV/126-8-2-lo/26 Contribution on the Influence of Alloying on the Kinetics of the Pearlite Transformation of concentrating strains on diffusion. Calculated values of pearlite-transformation rate are close to or considerably higher than experimental for unalloyed or chromium steel, respectively. A form of the diffusion equation is solved by the authors in their previous manner (Ref 12) to give relations for pearl�te-growth rate in the formation of ferrite-carbide mixture where this is limited by cUffuslonal redistribution of the alloying element in austenite. They conclude that this could not be the rate- controlling factor for chromium, nickel, manganese and some other alloying elements with a high activation energy of diffusion, but could be for elements such as molybdenum. The authors then deduce kinetic equations for the pearlite transformation for control by iron-lattice rearrangement, by carbon diffusion and alloying element diffusion. They calculate kinetic curves for 5090 transformation of austenite in unalloyed (Figure 1) and alloyed (0.4% C, 8.550' Cr) steel and consider a steel with 0.50% Cr and 0.4% C; then compare Card3/4 sov/126-8-2-lo/26 Contribution on the Influence of Alloying on the Kinetics of the Pearlite Transformation calculated and experimental results. With over 2.57' Cr, jo the pearlite transformation rate is governed by the poly- morphic transformation. Their results show that the views of Fr-ye, Stansbury, McElroy (Ref 9) that the rearrangement mechanism is rate controlling in eutoctoidal unalloyed steel are incorrect.

TITLE: On Methods of Investigating Recrystallization PERIODICAL: Izvestiya vysshikh uchebnykh zavedeniy, Chei-nay!i- metallurgiya, 1960, No. 6, pp. 103-105 TEXT; Recrystallization kinetics Is characterized by the --,~tlvation energy of re crystallization (U) which can be approximately determir.,-d from, th4~ time of reorystallization beginning or from the time of atta-ln:Lng a ~,6rtaln state by the alloy studied at a given temperature.

Th.: given method is founded and G. K. L'vov1s equations (Ref. 2) are specified in this article. An equation describing the dependence between temperatu.re, time and activation energy of recrystallization can be dcrived frcm the general theory of phase transformations or from the approx-Imate Avrami of recrystallization. The equation derived from the general theory of pha.-Fi- transformations is based on the known expression for a corTain fraction C.." the re crystallization volume described through the rate of recrystall'.zation, Card 1/2 On Methods of Investigating Recrystallization S/14,9/60/000/006/005/010 nucleation and the rate of grain growth for the case of their-spherical shape. Tt appears however, that this method determines not U but Uef, exceeding the true hLetivation energy of recrystallization by 1/4 of the nucleation work. Data given in Reference 5 for recrystallization in carbon steel with 0.08% C, deformed to 8% (activation energy of grain growth U - 68 kcal/mole; activation energy of nucleation U + W - 76 kcal/mole) justify for a namber of cases, the identification of U and Uef. For this steel grade the difference between U and Uef is 2 kcal/mole, An analysis of methods show that the use of Avramfls equation may yield different data on the activation energy of recrystallization. This may explain the difference of values obtained for the activation energy of recrystallization and grain growth in Reference 4 and 7. There are 7 references 4 Soviet and 3 English.

The thorium content in the different stages during the preparation of products from tungsten and molybdenun can thus be easi- ly determined. Fig. 1 gives the block diagram of the retiording device. The sample was fixed at a certain distance from the scrtien and parallel to it. A standard plate coated with ZnS and activated with silver, was used as screen. Screen and photoelectric multiplier of the-type T)3y-lg (FEU-19) were installed in the lighttight casing of the high-voltage rectifier type "Orekh". Noise impulses were eliminated by the method of amplitude selection by using a discriminator or by changing the anode Card 1/2 86232 Radiometrio Determination of Thorium in S/032/60/026/008/030/046/XX Tungsten and Molybdenum B02O/BO52 voltage of the FEU, and the amplification coefficient of the amplifier. The impulses were recorded by the device fIC-10000 (PS-10000), or the E5-2 (B-2) radiometer with an a-scintillation chamber of the type n -349-2 (P-349-2). The width of the active part of the sample X has to be determin- ed for each direction 9 in dependence on the distance R of the sample from the screen (Fig. 2). The examples given in the table are the results of the thorium determination in tungsten wire of different types, batches, and diameters, and the results of chemical analysis. They show that the maximum error in the thorium determination with a sample length of 200 mm in wires more than 0.15 mm thick, is 5%. This warrants an accuracy of thorium determination of up to 0.05~6. The results can be rendered more exact by using longer samples with diameters of 10 - 15 jum and by extend- ing the time of impulse counting. The thorium determinat:ion by the method suggested here, takes 5 - 10 minutes. The sample is consorved, and the change of the thorium content during annealing and sintering can be con- trolled.

TITLEs a kinetics of ihe recrystallization o'! tungsten PERIODICAW Fisika metallov i metallovedeniye, 196i, Vol.12, No.2, pp.249-254 TEM The kinetics of the recrystallization of thoriated and pure tungsten wires of 50 to 200 p diameter were studied in terms of the changes in their mechanical properties and microstructure in relation to the annealing temperature and ageing. Heating was carried out directly by passing an electric current through the wires and the temperature of annealing ranged from 1300 to 26oo*c with an accuracy of + 20'C. The temperature was measured by means of a milliammeTer calibrated by an optical pyrometer. Samples were subjected to various durations of annealing from 20 see to 30 min. Since it was impossible to calculate the rate of growth of grain@ in the tungsten wire during the recrystallimation from direct measurement, the kinetics of recrystallization were studied indirectly by finding the change in the tensile strength at ambient temperature in relation to the Card 1/4 16559 The kinetics of the see S/126/61/012/1)02/009/019 E202/E435 temperature and duration of annealing, and also by i3tudying the microstructure and X-ray diffraction, Values of tansile strength were plotted vs. temperature of annealing for each duration of annealing and the resulting curves showed two characteristic regions - the first one corresponding to the primary recrystallimation due to the heat treatment and the second one due to the coalescing recrystallization. It was also found that the relation between the log * of the time of completion of the primary recrystallization and the temperature of annealing was in each case linear. The latter plots were used to evaluate the activation energy of the primary recrystallization Us and the coefficient A, which in turn were used to solve the equation for the time of rtcrystallization t, vizt t Sts A exp ( ) RT Evaluated in this manner, coefficients A for the 50 IL dia wires were in good agreement with the corresponding valules obtained on the basis of the general theory of phase transition assuming three.- dimehsional growth of the rearystallization centres.

The curves of thoriated tungsten wires did not exhibit the characteristic displacement, from which it was concluded that the energy of activation of recrystallization in the region is infinitely large. Estimation of the beginning of the recrystallization according to the m~-thod of change in the me,~-hanical properties gave lower temperature values than the !:uatomary estimation by inspection of 'Elie microstructure. In the opinion of the authors, the former mothod is capable of detr-cting the presence of grains which are not vieible by inspection !~f the microstructure.
