Abstract

1. The resistance of martensite in low-carbon steel to recrystallization is due to the absence of the essential excess of dislocations of one sign rather than the inhibiting effect of carbide particles. 2. The heterogeneity of the structure created by oil quenching favors recrystallization of deformed steel due to the substantial heterogeneity and turbulence of slip. 3. The reduction of the coercive force during plastic deformation of quenched steel is due to the transfer of carbon atoms from martensite to lattice defects that occur during deformation.
