Molybdenum accumulation at Ferrite : Austenite interfaces during isothermal transformation of an Fe-0.24 Pct C-0.93 Pct Mo alloy
A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) technique was used to measure Mo concentrations at ferrite: austenite (alpha:gamma) interfaces in an Fe-0.24 pct C-0.93 pet Mo alloy partially transformed at 650 degreesC, 630 degreesC, and 610 degreesC.

| description | A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) technique was used to measure Mo concentrations at ferrite: austenite (alpha:gamma) interfaces in an Fe-0.24 pct C-0.93 pet Mo alloy partially transformed at 650 degreesC, 630 degreesC, and 610 degreesC. These concentrations were quite small at 650 degreesC, which is just below the bay temperature of the time-temperature-transformation (TTT) curve for the initiation of ferrite formation. There were larger concentrations at 630 degreesC, a temperature at which transformation stasis (incomplete transformation) occurred. Concentrations at 610 degreesC were intermediate between the values observed at 650 degreesC and 630 degreesC. The average accumulation at the latter temperatures increased appreciably as a function of transformation time. After each heat treatment, there was considerable variation in Mo accumulation from one alpha:gamma interface to another and, to a lesser extent, from one region to another along the same interface. These higher Mo concentrations were deduced to have developed largely through volume diffusion of Mo, mainly through ferrite, to interfaces whose ledgewise growth had been interrupted by growth stasis. (Mo2C precipitation at alpha:gamma boundaries occurred only at the end of growth stasis.) It appears that only a very small amount of Mo segregation is needed, probably at specific interfacial sites, in order to produce growth cessation. Growth kinetics anomalies of this kind continue to provide the best evidence available for the operation of a coupled-solute drag effect. |
