When austenitized, carbon steel is quenched, why is the bcc crystal elongated into a body-centered tetragonal crystal structure?
Answer / Rajeev Kumar Gaur
Carbon steel, when austenitized and rapidly cooled during quenching, can transform into a body-centered tetragonal (BCT) crystal structure. This phenomenon is known as martensite transformation. It occurs due to the presence of carbon in iron-carbon alloys, which creates interstitial sites within the crystalline lattice, causing distortion and resulting in BCT instead of the initial body-centered cubic (BCC) structure.

The requirement for ASTM A217 Gr. WC9 castings for valves components like Body and Bonnet were Normalising at 920+/- 20 Deg. C and Tempring 780+/- 20 Deg. C The specification calls furnace shall be calibtated within +/-14 deg. C The Heat Chart shows minimum temperature for normalising 900 to 920 Deg. C, but maximum temperature 960-990 Deg. C Tempering 780+/-20 Deg. C is within limits and accepted. Casting having integral test bars, heat trated along with castings passed in chemical znalysis and mechanical properties. Since normalising maximum temperature is not meeting specification, where castings can be salvaged or renormalised and retempered to meet specification. Whether it will have affect on remechanical properties testing
