- Despite the long history of ferrous martensite tempering and its industrial importance, detailed characterisation of tempering had not been undertaken before this study. Collaborating with British Steel Ltd and Tata Steel, this paper quantitatively determines the carbides develop at different rates (as has been assumed to date). The separate coarsening rates were measured to allow accurate simulation so that these steel grades can be appropriately heat treated without extensive trials and empirical fitting. This approach is being done as part of the EPSRC SUSTAIN Manufacturing Hub and Prosperity partnership and contributed to the successful PhD completion of the lead author.
