Temperature transformed

A molten metal alloy would normally be expected to crystallize into one or several phases. To form an amorphous, ie, glassy metal alloy from the Hquid state means that the crystallization step must be avoided during solidification. This can be understood by considering a time—temperature—transformation (TTT) diagram (Eig. 2). Nucleating phases require an iacubation time to assemble atoms through a statistical process iato the correct crystal stmcture...

The room temperature transformation of the columbite phase to baddeleyite commences at 13-17 GPa 6, with transition pressure increasing linearly with temperature Direct transition from rutile to baddeleyite phase at room temperature and 12 GPa has also been reported 7. The baddeleyite phase undergoes further transition to an as yet undefined high-symmetry structure at 70-80 GPa. The most likely candidate for the high-pressure phase is fluorite, which is consistent with the general pattern of increasing Ti coordination number from 6 in rutile, to 7 in baddeleyite (a distorted fluorite structure), and to 8 in fluorite.

Time-temperature-transformation (T-T-T) diagrams are used to present the structure of steels after isothermal transformation at different temperatures for varying times. The T-T-T diagram for a commercial eutectoid steel is shown in Fig. 20.48a. Also shown on the curves are the points at which the microstructures illustrated in Figs. 20.46 and 20.47 are observed, and the thermal treatments producing these structures. When a steel partially transformed to, say, pearlite, is quenched from point a in Fig. 20.48a to below nif, the untransformed austenite transforms to martensite.

Ca3(BN2)2 is readily formed when (distilled) calcium metal is melted in the presence of (layer-type) boron nitride. This reaction provides some insight on how alkaline-earth metals like calcium may act as a catalyst in the phase transformation of layered a-BN into its cubic modification. Instead of metals, nowadays alkaline-earth (Ca, Sr, Ba) nitridoborates can be used as a flux catalyst in high-pressure and high-temperature transformation reactions to produce cubic boron nitride [15].

Characteristics and implementation of the treatments depend on the expected results and on the properties of the material considered a variety of processes are employed. In ferrous alloys, in steels, a eutectoid transformation plays a prominent role, and aspects described by time-temperature-transformation diagrams and martensite formation are of relevant interest. See a short presentation of these points in 5.10.4.5. Titanium alloys are an example of the formation of structures in which two phases may be present in comparable quantities. A few remarks about a and (3 Ti alloys and the relevant heat treatments have been made in 5.6.4.1.1. More generally, for the various metals, the existence of different crystal forms, their transformation temperatures, and the extension of solid-solution ranges with other metals are preliminary points in the definition of convenient heat treatments and of their effects. In the evaluation and planning of the treatments, due consideration must be given to the heating and/or cooling rate and to the diffusion processes (in pure metals and in alloys).
