Abstract:
The measurement of retained austenite is important in the analysis and quality control of asmanufactured steel components, as well as to the evaluation of components returned from service. The amounts of retained austenite are most accurately measured using x-ray diffraction techniques where the integrated area under the austenite and martensite diffraction peaks from a sample are determined. In addition to quantitative information about the amount of each phase, however, the raw x-ray diffraction data contains other information that may be useful in evaluating the condition of a steel component. The diffracting particle size of both the martensite and austenite phases, and the presence and degree of preferred orientation in both phases can be calculated from the basic four peak retained austenite x-ray scan. This information, in conjunction with knowledge of the amount of retained austenite present, may be used to determine information about variations in materials and manufacturing processes as well as changes due to service. If the residual stress in both phases is also measured, additional conclusions can be made regarding changes due to processing and service. The theoretical and experimental aspects of these measurements are reviewed data from a case history in which these types of measurements were used to determine changes due to processing and service are presented.

Abstract:
Retained austenite is an important characteristic of properly heat-treated steel components, particularly gears and shafts, that will be subjected to long-term use and wear. Normally, either X-ray diffraction or optical microscopy techniques are used to determine the volume percent of retained austenite present in steel components subjected to specific heat-treatment regimes. As described in the literature, a number of phenomenological, experimental, and calculation factors can influence the volume fraction of retained austenite determined from X-ray diffraction measurements. However, recent disagreement between metallurgical properties, microscopy, and service laboratory values for retained austenite led to a re-evaluation of possible reasons for the apparent discrepancies. Broad, distorted X-ray peaks from un-tempered martensite were found to yield unreliable integrated intensities whereas diffraction peaks from tempered samples were more amenable to profile fitting with standard shape functions, yielding reliable integrated intensities. Retained austenite values calculated from reliable integrated intensities were found to be consistent with values obtained by Rietveld refinement of the diffraction patterns. The experimental conditions used by service laboratories combined with a poor choice of diffraction peaks were found to be sources of retained austenite values containing significant bias.

Abstract:
There are several methods for the measurement of retained austenite in steels, which influences mechanical behavior and corrosion resistance of steels. Among them, X-ray diffraction methods using a wide angle goniometer or X-ray stress analyzer are commonly used because the methods are non-destructive, giving useful information about residual stress or lattice strain as well.

Abstract:
The non-destructive X-ray diffraction method is used to analyse carbo-nitrided steel layers after wear testing. These measurements are carried out on the two major phases of the material,i.e.the martensite and the retained austenite. Such measurements are particularly difficult for three reasons. First, strong gradients exist across the wear track. Second, the diffraction peaks obtained for the martensite are broadened, as a result of the overlap of different reflections of the tetragonal structure. Third, the studied material is multiphase. Its major phases are martensite and austenite, but it also contains carbide and nitride clusters, which lead to incoherent scattering of X-rays. A new quantitative phase analysis method is thus proposed to define the volume fractions of these different constituents of the material. This method accounts for the evolution of the background level during wear. A micro-mechanical model is then developed to process the diffraction peak positions obtained for the martensite and the retained austenite. This model defines the `true' stress and carbon content of both phases. It also allows separation of the reflections of the martensite. The true widths of the diffraction peaks, which characterize the plastic deformation, can thus be quantified. Results for wear-test specimens show a strong plastic deformation of the retained austenite during contact fatigue. This leads to a partial transformation of this phase into martensite. In the martensite, on the contrary, the plastic deformation remains low but the carbon content decreases. This is caused by a stress-induced precipitation of carbides.

Abstract:
The non-destructive structure characterisation of surface layers for various kinds of ball bearings can be a powerful method in surface characterization and in quality control. The ball bearings were made of 100Cr6 steel and they were superfinished and mechanically burnished. An application of classical X-ray diffraction sin2ψ method and classical Bragg-Brentano diffraction geometry in these kinds of surface examinations make some problems in term of X-ray real depth of penetration. An application of methods based on grazing angle X-ray diffraction geometry, made possible to get real value of residual macro-stresses, retained austenite and additionally could be suitable in estimation of their gradient-like distribution versus depth under surface. An application of this geometry to X-ray diffraction phase analysis enabled to get phase contents versus thickness under surface in non-destructive way as well. The results are not infected by gradient-like distribution. The X-ray quantitative phase analysis was used to establish volume fraction of transformed retained austenite. Theoretical calculation of residual macro-stresses due to volume fraction of transformed austenite in ball bearings and following measurements of residual stresses were curried out as well. The mechanical burnishing of ball bearings caused big compressive residual stresses about – 1000 MPa and phase transformation of austenite in thin surface layer. These factors can influence on properties of following exploitation and durability.

Abstract:
We have performed in-situ magnetization and high-energy X-ray diffraction measurements on two aluminum-based TRIP steels from room temperature down to 100 K in order to evaluate amount and stability of the retained austenite for different heat treatment conditions. We have found that the bainitic holding temperature affects the initial fraction of retained austenite at room temperature but does not to influence significantly the rate of transformation upon cooling.

Abstract:
Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction patterns has been used to provide microstructural information complementary to conventional X-ray residual stress measurements through a carburized layer containing a maximum vol. 25 % of retained austenite. Layers in a simple specimen were removed incrementally by electropolishing and, at each depth in addition to conventional residual stress measurements in both the martensite and retained austenite, data were collected at ѱ = 0 for Rietveld refinement. The refinements provide accurate values for the lattice parameters in the respective phases that can be related to carbon content and micro-structure. Besides to providing qualitative information concerning the microstructure and possible surface decarburization, the c/a ratio of the martensite potentially offers an independent technique for determining carbon content profiles

Abstract:
Prevention of weld cracking is necessary for ensuring the reliability of high strength steel structures. Tensile residual stress in the weld metal is one of the major factors causing the weld cracking, therefore, it is important to clarify the residual stress distribution in the weld metal. Conventional stress measurement, the stress relief method using strain gauges and the X-ray diffraction technique, can only provide the stress information in the surface region of the steel weld. The neutron diffraction is the only non-destructive method that can measure the residual stress distribution inside the steel weld [1-3]. The neutron stress measurement was applied for the 980MPa class high strength steel weld and it was revealed that high level of tensile residual stress can affect the weld cracking to a significant degree [4-5]. Recently, it was reported that Ni-Cr type steel weld exhibit higher resistance to the weld cracking compared with conventional low alloy type weld. Increase of tensile residual stress is prevented by lower transformation temperature of the Ni-Cr type weld metal and retained austenite phase is dispersed in the martensite microstructure. It is considered that lower level of tensile residual stress and the existence of retained austenite may prevent hydrogen accumulation in the weld metal [6]. However, retained austenite and the residual stress conditions in the Ni-Cr type high strength steel weld is not well understood. In this study, neutron diffraction analysis was conducted on the Ni-Cr type steel weld joint with the tensile strength level of 980MPa in order to investigate the effect of the retained austenite and the residual stress distribution on the weld cracking.

Abstract:
Fine-scale bainitic microstructure with excellent mechanical properties has been achieved by transforming austenite to bainite at low temperature ranging from 200oC to 300oC. Microstructural observations and hardness measurements show that transformed microstructures consist of bainitic ferrite and carbon-enriched retained austenite. The thickness of bainitic ferrite plates is less than 50 nm. The hardness reaches approximately 640 HV1. Strong austenite and/or large driving force at the low transformation temperature leads to ultra fine bainitic ferrite plates. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that low-temperature bainite transformation is an incomplete reaction. The carbon content in carbon-enriched retained austenite is below the para-equilibrium (Ae3′) phase boundary predicted. The carbon content in bainitic ferrite is less than that T0′ phase boundary predicted.
