Study of Plane Defects in the Cementite by Transmission Electron Microscopy

Abstract

Cementitie foils extracted from annealed steels were examined by transmission electron microscopy employ-ing a specimen-tilting device. Sometimes a number of parallel straitions were observed. It was interpreted that they were due to the plane defects: stacking faults or sequence faults on (001), and sequence faults on (010), (100), (011), (103), (021), (111) and (212).
