Metastable Phases Obtained by Laser Surface Melting of a Chromium High-Carbon Steel

MRS Online Proceedings Library volume 21, pages615–619(1983)Cite this article

Abstract

The power laser has been applied to the surface melting of a high-carbon alloy steel with laser operating parameters leading to structures which cannot be produced by the usual heat-treatments. The subsequent annealing of these structures has also been investigated. Optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy have been used as methods of analysis.
