Local builder Harmony Homes describes its new neighborhood Pearlite as a cozy community near East Russell Road and Palm Street in Las Vegas. Only a few of its 18 lots remain, according to Harmony ...

Researchers discovered that the distance between dislocations in nanolayer interfaces of pearlite can determine how much the material can stretch or contract without breaking (ductility). The ...

A kinetic theory for the diffusion-controlled growth of pearlite is presented, which accounts simultaneously for diffusion through the austenite and via the transformation front. The simplified method ...

Changing the carbon content of the alloy changes the microstructure of the pearlite and hence the mechanical properties of the alloy. The vertical alloy composition line on the partial phase diagram ...

THE accompanying photomicrograph (Fig. 1) shows the phosphide eutectic in a grey cast iron at 5000 diameters. This shows that the constituent which appears as dark markings at × 1000, and is still ...

Spheroidizing is a form of heat treatment for iron-based alloys, commonly carbon steels, in order to convert them into ductile and machinable alloys. It is conducted at temperatures that are slightly ...

These are iron-carbon alloys (and a form of cast iron) with carbon contents in excess of 2%, generally in the range 2 to 4% with the addition of about 1% silicon. They differ from steels in that the ...

Iron carbon alloys are also sensitive to the temperature at which they are formed, the rate at which they are cooled to the transformation temperature, and for non-equilibrium states subsequent ...
