Characterization of gamma-ray irradiation influence on the corrosion behaviour of austenitic stainless steel

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.

Post-heat treatment of electrochemically carburized low-carbon steel

“…Further investigation using XRD (Figure 7) was carried out on the surface of AR and electrochemically carburized samples. In accordance with the image of AR in Figure 4(a), the XRD peaks of the AR sample showed the presence of only ferrite (JCPDS 06-0696) [36]. The XRD peaks for ferrite and martensite are located at 2 = 44.7 and 44.6°, respectively, which are almost the same peak [36,37].…”

Based on Figure 6, the AR sample consisted mostly of ferrite, whereas WQ and OQ are dominated by martensite.…”
