THERMOELECTRIC POWER VS. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY PLOT FOR STRAIN-AGEING OF LOW-CARBON ALUMINIUM-KILLED STEEL.

Abstract

THE THERMOELECTRIC POWER VS. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY PLOT SEPARATES ISOTHERMAL AGING INTO DISTINCT STAGES TO EVALUATE THE RELATIVE MAGNITUDE OF LATTICE STRAINS CAUSED BY CLUSTERING OF SOLUTE ATOMS OR COHERENCY STRAINS INDUCED ALONG PRECIPITATE-MATRIX INTERFACES. PRESTRAINING PROMOTES CLUSTERING OF CARBON ATOMS AT MEDIUM TEMPERATURES.
