Tin can apparently deteriorate the hot ductility of the steel. Non-equilibrium grain boundary segregation of tin occurs during cooling and plays an important role in reducing the hot ductility of the steel. There is a critical cooling rate for the Sn segregation being between 5 and 20K/s.展开更多

The research result reveals that during tempering or ageing after quenching at 980℃, Sb segregates to grain boundaries with both equilibrium and non-equilibrium natures and brings about temper embrittlement in the steels. Cerium can relieve temper embrittlement of the steels and its segregation to grain boundaries may play an important role in reducing this embrittlement.展开更多

The solute-boundary binding energy and the diffusion coefficient for phosphorus are determined by virtue of the measured segregation kinetics along with the equilibrium segregation theory. The obtained values of the above parameters are discussed with comparison to those found in the literature for low-alloy steels.展开更多
