Abstract

In high-carbon vanadium steel, the temperature range (600°C and higher) and time (∼0.1 s) of the formation of vanadium carbide particles 5–10 nm in size at the interphase boundary upon pearlitic transformation have been established. Their distribution in ferrite has been subjected to crystallographic analysis with allowance for the habit of cementite plates. Based on the results of this analysis, a model has been suggested for the volume distribution of vanadium carbide nanoparticles in ferrite interlayers between cementite plates of the pearlitic colony in the form of successive (periodic) corrugated spherical surfaces with a period of ∼20 nm. This particle distribution is determined by the shape of the moving pearlite-austenite interphase boundary and by the direction of growth of the pearlitic colony.
