Abstract
1. The type and stability of the carbides formed as the result of tempering are determined by the ratio between the alloyed element and carbon (M/C). For each alloyed element there is a characteristic value of the ratio which determines the limits of stability of cementite and special carbides for a given temperature and period of heating. 2. The type and the stability of the carbides formed are affected not only by the value of the M/C ratio but also by the concentration of the alloyed element in the steel. For a given M/C ratio an increase in the concentration of the alloyed element widens the area of stability of the special carbide at the expense of the cementite type carbide.
