Description
Short description:
Covers steel phase transformations, emphasizing how heat, composition, and treatment affect microstructure and properties.
Long description:
This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of phase transformations in steel. It explains steel phase diagrams, temperature-composition effects, equilibrium and non-equilibrium transformations, and the influence of cooling rates and alloying elements on microstructure and mechanical properties.
What you will learn
- Interpret steel phase diagrams to determine transformation pathways.
- Differentiate between equilibrium and non-equilibrium transformations in steel.
- Describe the influence of cooling rates on phase formation during heat treatment.
- Identify the microstructural changes induced by alloying elements in steel.
- Analyze the relationship between phase transformations and mechanical properties of steel.
