Abstract

The size, shape, distribution, and growth behavior of carbide particles have a pronounced influence upon the chemical and mechanical properties of low- and high-alloy steels. A relationship between the physical structure of the precipitated carbides and the corrosion susceptibility of 18 per cent chromium-8 per cent nickel steels has been clearly shown by Mahla and Nielson (1)² and Kinzel (2). Crafts and Lamont (3, 4, 5) have shown how alloying elements modify the nature of the carbides and the properties of tempered and isothermally transformed steels.
