“…The effect of varying heat treatment temperature, time, alloy content, and cooling rate on the decomposition product has been intensively studied by several investigators (Lawson et al, 1981;Eldis, 1979;Matlock et al, 1979;Lawson et al, 1980;Jeong and Kim, 1985;Marder, 1977;Geib et al, 1980;Mould and Skena, 1977;Rigsbee and Vander Arend, 1977;Huppi et al, 1980;Erdogan and Priestner, 1999;Erdogan and Priestner, 2002;Erdogan, 2002;Sarwar and Priestner, 1999;Priestner and Ajmal, 1987;Erdogan, 2003). The austenite transformation following intercritical annealing is different from that after normal austenitisation in two respects.…”
