As with conventional quench and tempering the material being heat treated must be cooled from the austenitizing temperature quickly enough to avoid the formation of pearlite. The specific cooling rate that is necessary to avoid the formation of pearlite is a product of the chemistry of the austenite phase and thus the alloy being processed.
Conversely, at higher coiling temperatures, pearlite forms with coarser lamellae, and a smaller amount of pearlite is observed as coarse cementite particles tend to dominate the structure. The carbon diffusion during the formation of pearlite, just ahead of the growth front, is critical in determining the thickness of the lamellae and ...
Austenite is slightly undercooled when quenched below Eutectoid temperature. When given more time, stable microconstituents can form: ferrite and cementite. Coarse pearlite is produced when atoms diffuse rapidly after phases that form pearlite nucleate. This transformation is complete at the pearlite finish time (P f).
The morphology of cementite plays a critical role in the kinetics of phase transformations in steel. The coiling temperature and cooling rate significantly affect cementite formation. At lower coiling temperatures, cementite forms fine pearlitic colonies, whereas at higher temperatures, it precipitates as coarse particles at grain boundaries.

Slow cooling rates allow for the development of coarse cementite particles at grain boundaries, while faster cooling rates promote the formation of fine pearlitic colonies. Coiling temperature, in particular, has a significant impact on carbide morphology: lower coiling temperatures (below the eutectoid temperature) promote fine pearlite ...
Temperature influences the body’s circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep-wake cycles, says Dr. Vendrame. In other words, your body’s temperature tells you when to sleep and when to be awake.
Experts say a combination of factors have increased the number of vehicle attacks in recent years, notably the increased focus on outdoor events after the pandemic, ease of access to trucks or ...
