On the reversion of chemical microinhomogeneity in steel during heat treatments

Description

An ''element recovery'' effect has been discovered, residing in restoration of original chemical micrononuniformity during repeated heating of fully homogenized alloys. In die steels this effect is displayed most markedly in the temperature range of 500-700 deg C. The element recovery is explained by the structural heredity, i.e. stable conservation of crystal latice imperfection clusters formed during solidification. The chemical micrononuniformity resulting from the element recovery produces an appreciable effect on mechanical properties of alloys
