Abstract
1. Carbides are dissolved at the highest rate at 1200–1250°C in the first 10–15 min. 2. The critical quenching rate for steel with 3% Mo is 50 deg/min; with smaller amounts of Mo the critical rate increases. 3. Isothermal decomposition of supercooled austenite to a ferrite-carbide mixture begins with preliminary precipitation of secondary MC, which at temperatures below 850° occurs after a certain incubation period that increases as the temperature is lowered. 4. With increasing amounts of molybdenum for 0.6 to 5% the temperature range of the diffusional γ→α transformation shifts to higher temperatures, MS drops, and the amount of retained austenite increases.
