An improved method for determining the diffusion transformations of austenite under isothermal conditions. Part 2. Isothermal transformation diagrams and their role in prescribing heat treatment regimes

Abstract

The improved method for determining diffusion transformations of austenite under isothermal conditions is considered. The applicability of standard diagrams in determining the conditions of preheat treatment at the stage of cooling after forging (accumulation stage) of large-sized billets is evaluated.
