Diffusion Behavior of Carbon Atoms in Austenite Region of SCM435 Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The research on the decarbonizing behavior of the austenite region of SCM435 steel was carried out. And the experimental results shewed that the relationship between the diffusion coefficient and temperature totally agreed with the Arrhenius equation and that the diffusion constant and the diffusion activation energy were uniform within the temperature range of 900-1100°C. However, when the austenite reached certain temperature, the carbon diffusion coefficient decreased significantly as temperature increased and its relationship with temperature no longer agreed with the Arrhenius equation.
