- Tempering of ferrous martensite is critical to many industrial processes. This detailed characterisation has clearly and quantitatively determined the carbide development during tempering and has identified that they do not all coarsen at the same rate (as has been the assumption to date). The separate coarsening rates have been measured to allow accurate simulation so that these steel grades can be appropriately heat treated to a wider variety of product forms without extensive trials and empirical fitting and less loss through downgrading. This research has led to further modelling work within the £10.3M SUSTAIN Manufacturing Hub (Didier Farrugia; Didier.farrugia@tatasteeleurope.com).
