>> Pearlite :- Pearlite is a two-phased, lamellar (or layered) structure composed of alternating
layers of ferrite (88 wt%) and cementite (12 wt%) that occurs in some steels and cast irons. In
fact, the lamellar appearance is misleading since the individual lamellae within a colony are
connected in three dimensions; a single colony is therefore an interpenetrating bicrystal of ferrite
and cementite. In an iron-carbon alloy, during slow cooling pearlite forms by a eutectoid reaction
as austenite cools below 727 °C (1,341 °F) (the eutectoid temperature). Pearlite is a
microstructure occurring in many common grades of steels.
>> Cementite :- Cementite, also known as iron carbide, is an interstitial compound of iron and
carbon, more precisely an intermediate transition metal carbide with the formula Fe3C. By
weight, it is 6.67% carbon and 93.3% iron. It has an orthorhombic crystal structure. It is a hard,
brittle material, normally classified as a ceramic in its pure form, though it is more important in
ferrous metallurgy. While iron carbide is present in most steels and cast irons, it is produced as a
raw material in the Iron Carbide process, which belongs to the family of alternative ironmaking
technologies.
>> Austenite :- Austenite, also known as gamma-phase iron (-Fe), is a metallic, non-magnetic
allotrope of iron or a solid solution of iron, with analloying element. In plain-carbon steel,
austenite exists above the critical eutectoid temperature of 1,000 K (1,340 °F; 730 °C); other
alloys of steel have different eutectoid temperatures. It is Face Centred Cubic Configuration
(FCC).
>> Eutectoid Phase :- When the solution above the transformation point is solid, rather than
liquid, an analogous eutectoid transformation can occur. For instance, in the iron-carbon system,
the austenite phase can undergo a eutectoidtransformation to produce ferrite and cementite, often
in lamellar structures such as pearlite and bainite.
>> Proeutectoid :- When a hot steel with carbon content very close to 0.8%, is cooled down
slowly, there is a temperature (723 deg C) at which a constant-temperature transformation takes
place. This is called eutectoid transformation. And this results in formation of alternate layers of
Ferrite and Iron-Carbide (Fe3C).
But if the carbon content in this hot steel is much less than 0.8%, and it is cooled down slowly,
then till the temperature reduces to 723 deg C, a part of Austenite (also called gamma iron) gets
transformed to Ferrite by rejecting carbon from the solution. This is not a constant-temperature
process and occurs over a range of temperature. The ferrite so formed is called Proeutectoid...At
723 deg C, all the remaining Austenite get converted to Pearlite at this constant temperature -
which is nothing but alternate layers of Ferrite and cementite
>> Martensite :- Martensite, most commonly refers to a very hard form of steel crystalline
structure, but it can also refer to any crystal structure that is form.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

16. The problem is to solve for compositions at the phase boundaries
for both α and β phases (i.e., Cα and Cβ). We may set up two

24. Isothermal Transformation
• Consider a rapid cooling from “A” to “T1” in the diagram for
an eutectoid steel and keeping the steel at this temperature
for the eutectoid reaction to occur.
• The eutectoid reaction will take place isothermally
γ(0.78 wt%C) → α(0.02%C) + Fe3C(6.70%C)
• Austenite, on time, will transform to ferrite and cementite.
• Carbon diffuses away from ferrite to cementite
• Temperature affects the rate of diffusion of carbon..
26. Avrami relationship ‐ Describes the fraction of a transformation that
occurs as a function of time. This describes most solid‐state
transformations that involve diffusion, thus martensitic transformations
are not described.
29. Time‐Temperature‐Transformation Diagram
¾TTT diagrams are isothermal transformations (constant T – the
material is cooled quickly to a given temperature THEN the
transformation occurs)
¾The thickness of the ferrite and cementite layers in pearlite is ~
8:1. The absolute layer thickness depends on temperature of
transformation. The higher the temperature, the thicker the
layers.
¾At higher T. S‐shaped curves shifted to longer times ⇒
transformation dominated by slow nucleation and high atomic
diffusion. Grain growth is controlled by atomic diffusion.
¾At higher temperatures, the high diffusion rates allow for larger
grain growth and formation of thick layered structure of pearlite
(coarse pearlite).

38. Bainite – another product of austenite
transformation
• Needles or plates – needles of ferrite separated by
elongated particles of the Fe3C phase
• Bainite forms as shown on the T-T-T diagram at
temperatures below those where pearlite forms
• Pearlite forms – 540 to 727 0C
• Bainite forms – 215 to 540 0C
42. Body centered tetragonal (BCT)
structure.
“Ms” stands for “Martensite Start
Temperature” and
“Mf” stands for “Martensite
Finished Temperature”.
Due to the fast cooling, diffusion of
carbon is restricted. To make room
for the carbon atoms, the lattice
stretches along one crystal direction.
Martensite is a metastable phase.
43. Martensite is a supersaturated solution of
carbon in iron.
Due to the high lattice distortion,
martensite has high residual stresses.
The high lattice distortion induces high
hardness and strength to the steel.
However, ductility is loss (martensite is too
brittle) and a post heat treatment is
necessary.

49. Common Industrial Heat Treatments
o Annealing (slow cooling from austenitizing temperature.
Product: coarse pearlite)
o Normalizing (air cooling from austenitizing temperature.
Product: fine pearlite)
o Quench & Temper. Quench (fast – water or oil – cooling
from austenitizing temperature. Product: martensite).
Tempering (heating to T < A1 to increase ductility of
quenched steels)
o Martempering. (Quench to T above Ms and soak until all
the steel section is at that temperature, then quench to
ambient temperature. Product: Martensite)
o Austempering. (Quench to T above Ms and soak until phase
transformation takes place. Product: Bainite
50. Stages of annealing:
• Heating to required temperature
• Holding (“soaking”) at constant temperature
• Cooling
The time at the high temperature (soaking time) is long
enough to allow the desired transformation to occur.
Cooling is done slowly to avoid warping/cracking of due
to the thermal gradients and thermo-elastic stresses
within the or even cracking the metal piece.
Annealing
51. Purposes of annealing:
•Relieve internal stresses
•Increase ductility, toughness, softness
•Produce specific microstructure
Process Annealing - effects of work-hardening (recovery and
recrystallization) and increase ductility. Heating is limited to avoid
excessive grain growth and oxidation.
Stress Relief Annealing – minimizes stresses due to
Plastic deformation during machining
o Nonuniform cooling
o Phase transformations between phases with different densities
Annealing temperatures are relatively low so that useful effects of
cold working are not eliminated.
Examples of heat treatment
52.
53. • Lower critical temperature A1 below which austenite does not exist
• Upper critical temperature lines, A3 and Acm above which all
material is austenite
• Austenitizing – complete transformation to austenite
Full annealing: austenizing and slow cooling (several
hours). Produces coarse pearlite (and possible proeutectoid
phase) that is relatively soft and ductile. It is used to soften
pieces which have been hardened by plastic deformation,
and which need to undergo subsequent machining/forming.
Temperatures for full annealing:
Hypoeutectoid steel : A3 + 50oC
Hypereutectoid steel : A1,3 + 50oC
54. Normalizing
Annealing heat treatment just above the upper critical
temperature to reduce grain sizes (of pearlite and proeutectoid
phase) and make more uniform size distributions.
The interlamellar distance of pearlite decreases as the cooling
rate increases.
•Slow cooling (annealing – furnace cooling) – coarse
pearlite – interlamellar spacing of 4.5μm – hardness of
200BHN
•Medium to slow cooling (normalizing – still air cooling) –
normal pearlite – interlamellar spacing of 3.0μm –
hardness of 220BHN
•Medium to Fast (normalizing – forced air cooling) – fine
pearlite – interlamellar spacing of 2.0μm – hardness of
300BHN
56. Spheroidizing: prolonged heating just below the eutectoid
temperature, which results in the soft spheroidite structure.
This achieves maximum softness needed in subsequent forming
operations.

58. Quenching
The most common method to harden a steel.
It consists of heating to the austenizing temperature (hypoeutectoid steel) and
cooling fast enough to avoid the formation of ferrite, pearlite or bainite, to
obtain pure martensite.
Martensite (α’) has a distorted BCT structure. It is the hardest of the
structures studied. The higher hardness is obtained at 100% martensite.
Martensite hardness depends solely of the carbon content of the steel. The
higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness.
Martensite is very brittle and can not be used directly after quench for any
application.
Martensite brittleness can be reduced by applying a post-heat treatment
known as - tempering.

60. • Martensite is too brittle to serve engineering purpose
• Tempering is necessary to increase ductility and toughness of
martensite. Some hardness and strength is lost.
• Tempering consist on reheating martensitic steels (solution
supersaturated of carbon) to temperatures between 150-500º C to

61. Martempering
A process to prevent the formation of
quench cracks in the steel.
Cooling is carried out, as fast as
possible, to a temperature over the
MS of the steel.
The steel is maintained at T>MS until

the steel component is at the same
temperature.

63. Hardenability is the ability of the Fe-C alloy to transform to
martensite during cooling. It depends on alloy composition
and quenching media.
Hardenability should not be confused with “hardness”. A
qualitative measure of the rate at which hardness decreases
with distance from the surface because of decreased
martensite content.
High hardenability means the ability of the alloy to produce a
high martensite content throughout the volume of specimen.
Hardenability is measured by the Jominy end-quench test performed in a
standard procedure (cylindrical specimen, austenitization conditions,
quenching conditions - jet of water at specific flow rate and temperature).
