Abstract

The effects of phosphorous segregation on the properties of steels containing two types of globular cementite: (1) preferential distribution at the grain boundaries, and (2) uniform distribution within the grains, have been studied. It is shown that the brittle strength of the investigated steels depends only upon the particle size of the cementite, and is independent of the phosphorous concentration. The brittleness of the steels was evaluated by an original method proposed by Yu. Ya. Meshkov.
