Theoretical Considerations on Transition Metals Sulphides Precipitation in Alloyed Steels

Non-dimensional analysis and rules of thermochemical heat treatments permitted the formulation of a relative (statistically well correlated) ranking of sulphidising ability for transition metals and models to compute their amount in the metallic structure of Fe-C alloys

Read the full paper herethe precipitation of transition metal sulphides (TMSs) is considered as an undesirable phenomenon because of the negative influence on the material properties. This phenomenon has been the object of several theoretical studies (phenomenological description, thermodynamical and/or kinetical approaches) and is still under focus.
