This paper presents a comprehensive study on the strain-induced martensitic transformation and reversion transformation of the strain-induced martensite in AISI 304 stainless steel using a number of complementary techniques such as dilatometry, calorimetry, magnetometry, and in-situ X-ray diffraction, coupled with high-resolution microstructural transmission Kikuchi diffraction analysis. Tensile deformation was applied at temperatures between room temperature and 213 K (À60°C) in order to obtain a different volume fraction of strain-induced martensite (up to~70 pct). The volume fraction of the strain-induced martensite, measured by the magnetometric method, was correlated with the total elongation, hardness, and linear thermal expansion coefficient. The thermal expansion coefficient, as well as the hardness of the strain-induced martensitic phase was evaluated. The in-situ thermal treatment experiments showed unusual changes in the kinetics of the reverse transformation (a¢ fi c). The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the reverse transformation may be stress assisted-strains inherited from the martensitic transformation may increase its kinetics at the lower annealing temperature range. More importantly, the transmission Kikuchi diffraction measurements showed that the reverse transformation of the strain-induced martensite proceeds through a displacive, diffusionless mechanism, maintaining the Kurdjumov-Sachs crystallographic relationship between the martensite and the reverted austenite. This finding is in contradiction to the results reported by other researchers for a similar alloy composition.
Cryogenic helium-4 has long been recognized as a useful material in fluids research. The unique properties of helium-4 in the gaseous phase and the normal liquid phase allow for the generation of turbulent flows with exceptionally high Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers. In the superfluid phase, helium-4 exhibits two-fluid hydrodynamics and possesses fascinating properties due to its quantum nature. However, studying the flows in helium-4 has been very challenging largely due to the lack of effective visualization and velocimetry techniques. In this article, we discuss the development of novel instrumentation for flow-visualization in helium based on the generation and imaging of thin lines of metastable He*₂ tracer molecules. These molecular tracers are created via femtosecond-laser field-ionization of helium atoms and can be imaged using a laser-induced fluorescence technique. By observing the displacement and distortion of the tracer lines in helium, quantitative information about the flow field can be extracted. We present experimental results in the study of thermal counterflow in superfluid helium that validate the concept of this technique. We also discuss anticipated future developments of this powerful visualization technique.
Dilatometry is the most commonly method of producing CCT diagrams and analyzing phase transformations during cooling (as well as transformations during heating) and it permits the real-time monitoring of the extent of reaction in terms of dimensional changes due to phase transformation. All modern dilatometers are fitted with computerised systems which collect dimensional change signals versus temperature to plot a dilatometric curve and also to calculate and plot the derivative of the relative dimensional change with respect to temperature. Unfortunately, elaborated by dilatometers manufacturers software, in many cases could lead to wrong interpretation of phase transformations during cooling.Keywords: dilatogram, derivative, phase transformations during cooling, software Dylatometria jest najczęściej stosowana technika badawczą przy tworzeniu wykresów CTPc i analizie przemian fazowych podczas chłodzenia oraz nagrzewania. Umożliwia również śledzenie na bieżąco postępu przemiany dzięki rejestracji zmian wymiarów próbki w trakcie przemiany. Wszystkie współczesne dylatometry są wyposażone w systemy komputerowe sterowania i akwizycji danych pomiarowych umożliwiające obserwację dylatogramu w trakcie chłodzenia czy nagrzewania jak również obliczenie i narysowanie po zakończeniu eksperymentu wykresu różniczki (pierwszej pochodnej) w funkcji temperatury. Niestety, fabryczne oprogramowanie w wielu przypadkach może prowadzić do błędnej interpretacji zjawisk podczas przemian fazowych w trakcie chłodzenia.
The paper presents a new approach to interpretation of hypoeutectoid steel dilatograms upon heating between the austenite start and austenite finish temperatures. The proposed derivative curve separation method yields data which accords with the experimental results. Besides the new method appears a useful tool whereby it becomes possible to confirm the evidence reported earlier in literature that when a hypoeutectoid steel heats up to between the A 1 and the A 3 both ferrite and pearlite start to transform into austenite almost at the same time.Keywords: phase transformation, pearlite dissolution finish temperature, dilatometry, multi-peak fitting W pracy przedstawiono nowy sposób interpretacji dylatogramów nagrzewania stali podeutektoidalnych w zakresie przemiany perlitu i ferrytu w austenit. Zastosowanie proponowanej metody analizy dylatogramów nagrzewania stali podeutektoidalnych pozwoliło również na potwierdzenie publikowanych wcześniej w literaturze doniesień o jednoczesnym zachodzeniu przemiany perlitu w austenit z przemianą ferrytu w austenit w zakresie temperatury pomiędzy A 1 i A 3 .
