Summary of Practice4.1 This practice is based upon the principle that, duringheating and cooling of steels, dimensional changes occur as aresult of both thermal expansion associated with temperaturechange and phase transformation. In this practice, sensit
18、ivehigh-speed dilatometer equipment is used to detect and mea-sure the changes in dimension that occur as functions of bothtime and temperature during defined thermal cycles. Theresulting data are converted to discrete values of strain forspecific values of time and temperature during the thermalcyc
19、le. Strain as a function of time or temperature, or both, canthen be used to determine the beginning and completion of oneor more phase transformations.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is used to provide steel phase transforma-tion data required for use in numerical models for the predic-tio
20、n of microstructures, properties, and distortion during steelmanufacturing, forging, casting, heat treatment, and welding.Alternatively, the practice provides end users of steel andfabricated steel products the phase transformation data requiredfor selecting steel grades for a given application by d
21、etermin-ing the microstructure resulting from a prescribed thermalcycle.5.1.1 There are available several computer models designedto predict the microstructures, mechanical properties, anddistortion of steels as a function of thermal processing cycle.Their use is predicated on the availability of ac
22、curate andconsistent thermal and transformation strain data. Strain, boththermal and transformation, developed during thermal cyclingis the parameter used in predicting both microstructure andproperties, and for estimating distortion. It should be noted thatthese models are undergoing continued deve
23、lopment. Thisprocess is aimed, among other things, at establishing a directlink between discrete values of strain and specific microstruc-ture constituents in steels. This practice describes a standard-ized method for measuring strain during a defined thermalcycle.5.1.2 This practice is suitable for
24、 providing data for com-puter models used in the control of steel manufacturing,forging, casting, heat-treating, and welding processes. It is alsouseful in providing data for the prediction of microstructuresand properties to assist in steel alloy selection for end-useapplications.5.1.3 This practic
25、e is suitable for providing the data neededfor the construction of transformation diagrams that depict themicrostructures developed during the thermal processing ofsteels as functions of time and temperature. Such diagramsprovide a qualitative assessment of the effects of changes inthermal cycle on
26、steel microstructure. Appendix X2 describesconstruction of these diagrams.5.2 It should be recognized that thermal and transformationstrains, which develop in steels during thermal cycling, aresensitive to chemical composition. Thus, anisotropy in chemi-cal composition can result in variability in s
27、train, and can affectthe results of strain determinations, especially determination ofvolumetric strain. Strains determined during cooling are sen-sitive to the grain size of austenite, which is determined by theheating cycle. The most consistent results are obtained whenaustenite grain size is main
28、tained betweenASTM grain sizes of5 to 8. Finally, the eutectoid carbon content is defined as 0.8 %for carbon steels. Additions of alloying elements can changethis value, along with Ac1and Ac3temperatures. Heatingcycles need to be employed, as described below, to ensurecomplete formation of austenite

Apparatus7.1 This practice is applicable to several types of commer-cially available high-speed dilatometer apparatus, which havecertain common features. These incl
31、ude the capabilities for:heating and cooling a steel specimen in vacuum or othercontrolled atmosphere; programmable thermal cycles; inert gasor liquid injection for rapid cooling; continuous measurementof specimen dimension and temperature; and digital datastorage and output. The apparatus differ in
32、 terms of method ofspecimen heating and test specimen design.7.1.1 Dilatometer Apparatus Using Induction HeatingThetest specimen is heated by suspending it inside an induction-heating coil between two platens as shown schematically inFig. 1. Cooling is accomplished by a combination of controlledredu

Dimensional change is measured by amechanical apparatus along the longitudinal axis of the testspecimen, and temperature is measured by a thermocouplewelded to the surface of the specimen at the center of thespecimen l

For this apparatus, only Type R or Sthermocouples should be used.A1033 10 (2015)27.1.2 Dilatometer Apparatus Using Resistance Heating3The test specimen is supported between two grips as shownschematically in Fig. 2, and heated by direct resistance heating.Cooling is accomplished by a combinat

Dimen-sional change is measured along a diameter at the center of thetest specimen length, and temperature is measured by athermocouple welded to the surface of the spe
