Abstract

Electron microscopy and field-ion microscopy have been combined in a detailed high resolution study of the microstructure of an isothermally transformed Fe−0.5%Ti−0.1%C alloy. The alloy exhibits optimum mechanical properties during the early stages of transformation when a very fine banded dispersion of titanium carbide particles is formed by nucleation at the γ α interfaces. Aspects of the microstructure studied include the overall nature of the dispersions, the morphology, size and orientation of the precipitates and the nature of the particle/matrix interface; this information is correlated with the mechanical properties of the alloy.
