Orientation Relationships between Ferrite and Cementite by Edge-to-edge Matching Principle

https://doi.org/10.1016/S1005-0302(11)60094-7Get rights and content

The crystallographic features of pearlite were investigated by experiments and edge-to-edge matching principle. Two new orientation relationships between ferrite and cementite were determinated by selected area electron diffraction and then explained by our modified edge-to-edge matching method. The consistence of the experimental results with theoretical prediction confirms the practicability of the modified edge-to-edge matching model.

      Fig. 5a shows the unit cell of orthorhombic cementite (θ-Fe3C) projected along the <112> direction and an overlay of experimental and simulated electron diffraction patterns along the <113>, <111> and <100> martensite directions. The orientation relationship between cementite and martensite [57,58] is provided in Fig. 5a. There is no agreement between the simulated results (green) and the experimental observations, which rules out the existence of cementite in the C-rich regions.

      Crystallographic analysis of orientation relationships (OR) during phase transformation is an effective tool to understand and subsequently control the microstructure and mechanical properties of engineering materials. In this regard, the crystallography of cementite precipitates in the ferrite phase of pearlitic, bainitic and tempered martensitic steels has been primarily investigated via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) [1–17]. Three crystallographic ORs between cementite (subscripted as Fe3C) and the ferrite matrix (subscripted as α) have been typically observed:
