    32 Materials

    and Processes

    for

    NDT

    Technology

    and not

    tied

    closely

    together.

    In

    this

    liquid

    state, the

    materials

    have

    fixed

    volume

    but

    assume

    the

    shape

    of

    the container

    in

    which they

    are

    placed.

    As

    the energy level

    is further

    decreased, the mobili-

    ty

    of

    the

    atoms

    decreases.

    There

    are

    at least

    four

    different

    mechanisms

    by

    which the atoms can

    assume

    positions

    well fixed

    enough

    that

    for

    practical

    pur-

    poses

    the

    material

    could

    be called

    so/id.

    Of the

    materials

    of

    interest

    to

    manufacturing,

    all the

    metals

    occur as crystalline

    solids.

    METALI,IC

    STRUCTURE

    Definition

    of a

    Metal.

    Metals are usually defined

    as materials

    having

    some

    degree

    of

    plasticity.

    relatively

    high hardness

    and

    strength,

    good

    electric and

    thermal

    conductivity,

    crystallinity

    when solids,

    and opacity.

    A

    definition

    based

    on atomic

    structure is

    more

    pre-

    cise. A

    metallic

    solid

    is

    one

    that

    has free

    electrons

    available

    in

    the

    structure

    to

    carry a current

    and that

    has

    a

    negative

    coefficieni

    of conductivity

    with

    in-

    creasing

    temperature.

    States

    of Matter.

    Figure

    4-1

    shows

    the

    relation-

    ship

    that

    exists among

    the

    three

    states of

    matter

    for

    a

    crystalline

    material.

    At

    the

    intersection

    of tempera-

    ture

    ?t

    and

    pressure

    P1

    on

    the curve,

    notice

    that

    an

    increase

    of temperature

    of a

    material

    for

    which

    this

    curve

    is valid

    would cause

    the

    material

    to

    change

    directly

    from

    a

    solid to

    a

    gas.

    Similarly,

    a reduction

    of

    pressure

    (a

    shift toward

    the left)

    would

    also cause

    the

    same

    change.

    Such

    a

    change

    of

    state

    from solid

    directly

    to

    gas

    is

    known as

    sublimation. Arsenic is

    the

    only

    metallic

    material

    that

    sublimates

    at atmospheric

    pressure.

    When

    the

    temperature

    is

    raised

    to

    T2 at

    pressure

    P2,

    the

    atoms

    of the

    material

    will

    become

    sufficiently

    active

    that

    a change

    is

    made from a solid

    to

    a liquid.

    A further

    increase

    in

    temperature

    at this

    same pressure

    to

    point

    73

    will

    cause a second

    change

    States

    of

    matter

    from a liquid

    to a

    gas.

    The

    intersecting

    point

    of the

    curves

    at

    the

    temperature

    Ty

    and.

    pressure

    Ps

    is

    known

    as the

    triple

    point

    and occurs

    at

    the

    tempera-

    ture

    and

    pressure

    conditions

    under which a material

    may

    exist as a solid, a liquid, a

    gas,

    or

    partially

    all

    three

    at the same time. For

    most

    metals, this

    point

    occurs

    below normal

    temperatures

    and

    well

    below

    atmospheric

    pressure;

    consequently,

    most

    metals

    upon

    being

    heated go through the

    changes

    from

    solid

    to liquid

    to

    gas

    as

    the temperature increases.

    Space

    Lattices.

    As the energy

    of

    a liquid

    metal is

    reduced

    by

    taking

    away heat,

    the

    attraction

    between

    atoms

    increases

    until

    they

    arrange themselves

    in

    definite

    three-dimensional

    geometric

    patterns

    that

    are

    characteristic

    of

    the metal.

    These

    structures

    are

    called

    space

    lattices

    and

    consist

    of nctwork

    groupings

    of

    identical

    ttnit

    cells

    that

    are aligned

    in

    parallel planes.

    There

    ere fourteen

    types of

    crystal latl,ices,

    but

    rnost of

    the common

    and

    commercially

    important

    metals

    exist,

    in

    the

    solid

    state,

    in

    one

    of

    three

    struc-

    tures.

    These

    are,

    shown

    Figure

    4-2,

    tered

    In the illustrations

    ofunit

    the

    dots repre-

    senting

    should be

    considered

    as

    Materials

    and Processes

    for

    NDT

    Technology

    costs

    will

    be added.

    The methods.

    other than

    solidifi-

    cation,

    that

    can

    be

    used

    for

    grain-size

    control

    involve

    solid-state

    changes.

    As has already

    been

    indicated, coarse

    grains

    in

    the

    harder materials

    have

    lower

    strength

    than

    fine

    grains.

    Coarse-grained

    materials

    machine

    more

    easily,

    requir-

    ing

    Iess

    power,

    although

    the

    quality

    of

    surface

    pro-

    duced will

    not be

    as

    good

    as

    with

    a

    finer-grained

    material.

    Coarse-grained

    ferrous material

    is

    easier

    to

    harden

    by

    heat treatment

    than

    fine-grained

    material

    of

    the

    same

    composition

    but

    has

    increased

    suscepti-

    bility

    to

    cracking

    under

    the thermal

    loads.

    Coarse-

    grained

    material

    will

    caseharden

    on

    the surface

    more

    readily

    than

    fine-grained.

    It

    is

    evident,

    then,

    that

    coarse

    grains

    may

    sometimes

    be

    desirable

    during

    processing,

    but

    fine

    grains

    are usually

    necessary

    in the

    final

    product

    to

    provide

    the

    best

    mechanical

    proper-

    ties.

    Some deformation

    processes

    of

    shaping tnaterials

    can be used

    so as

    to

    cause

    grain-size

    reduction

    auto-

    matically durir,g

    the

    shaping

    process with

    little or

    no

    additional

    cost involved.

    SOLID STATE CHANGES

    IN

    METALS

    In

    the

    previous

    section

    the

    process

    of

    metal

    solidifi-

    cation was briefly

    described.

    The

    properties

    of a

    mate-

    rial

    are

    derived

    from the crystalline

    structure,

    includ-

    ing the atomic

    arrangement and

    the

    crystal

    sizes,

    and

    are

    affected by

    the

    boundary

    layers that

    join

    the

    grains

    together. The atomic

    arrangement

    is

    primarily

    a

    func-

    tion

    of

    the

    material

    composition, which may consist

    of

    a

    single

    material or

    a

    combination

    of

    materials

    that

    are

    completely

    soluble,

    partially

    soluble,

    or

    totally

    insolu-

    ble

    in each other

    in the solid

    state.

    The

    structure

    and

    grain

    size also

    may be

    influenced by

    the operating

    tem-

    perature

    changes

    and by

    mechanical

    loads

    that

    stress

    the

    material sufficiently

    to

    cause

    plastic flow

    in

    com-

    bination

    with

    time and

    heat effects.

    Some materials,

    particularly

    those

    that

    are

    cast

    to

    shape,

    may be used with

    the

    structure

    in

    which

    they

    solidify,

    but

    some

    of

    the

    cast materials

    and

    nearly

    all

    metals

    processed

    by other

    methods

    are

    treated

    in

    some

    way

    in

    the

    solid

    state

    to

    obtain

    improved

    mechanical

    properties.

    These treatments

    include

    work

    hardening,

    recry-

    stalization,

    age

    hardening,

    and

    heat treating

    of

    allo-

    tropic

    materials

    to

    cause crystal

    transformations.

    In

    many

    cases,

    treatment

    may

    be

    inherent

    in

    the

    process.

    This may be beneficial,

    as

    in many

    cases

    of

    deformation shaping

    with

    associated

    work

    hardening,

    or may be detrimental,

    as

    in other

    cases

    in which

    cold

    working

    develops directional

    properties

    in

    a material

    to

    make some

    kinds

    of

    further

    cold work

    difficult

    or

    impossible.

    WORK

    HARDENING

    Effects

    of

    Deformation.

    The

    application

    of

    loads

    to a

    solid

    material

    in

    processing

    or

    in

    service

    can

    cause

    two

    kinds

    of

    deformation.

    If the

    load

    does

    not

    stress

    the

    material

    past

    its

    elastic

    limit,

    the

    deforma-

    tion

    is

    "elastic,"

    and

    the

    material

    returns

    to

    its

    original

    position

    upon

    removal

    of

    the

    load' If,

    how-

    ever.

    the

    elastic

    limit is exceeded,

    the

    material

    does

    not

    return

    completely

    to

    its original

    position

    when

    the

    load is removed

    and

    is

    permanently

    deformed

    by

    plastic

    flow within

    its

    crystalline

    structure.

    When

    the

    elastic

    limit

    is

    passed,

    elastic

    properbies

    are

    not

    lost,

    but

    instead

    are

    enhanced,

    providing the deformation

    is

    produced

    by

    cold

    work.

    The

    strength

    of

    metal

    is

    increased

    by

    plastic

    flow

    and

    the

    elastic

    Iimit

    is

    raised.

    Some

    of

    the

    deformation

    processes

    produce

    improved

    properties at

    the same

    time

    the

    shaping

    is

    being

    performed.

    PLASTIC

    DEFORMATION

    Permanent

    deformation

    of

    metallic

    crystals

    occurs

    in

    three ways:

    slip,

    twinning,

    and

    rotational

    deforma-

    tion.

    The degtee

    of

    each is dependent largely

    on

    the

    characteristics

    of the

    particular

    metal.

    UNSTRAINEO

    GRAIII

    SLIP DEFORIIED

    GRAIN

    Figure 4-3

    Slip

    Slip

    Deforrnation.

    Slip deformation

    is

    illustrated

    in

    Figure 4-3 and

    occurs

    by

    translation or sliding

    be-

    tween the

    atomic

    platres

    within

    a

    grain.

    If

    the defor-

    mation causes

    more

    than

    a

    very minor

    shift,

    a

    large

    number

    of

    atomic

    planes

    in

    each

    grain

    will

    slide

    over

    adjacent

    planes

    to

    occupy

    new

    locations

    with

    new

    neighbors.

    The

    planes

    through

    the

    crystal

    that

    are

    usually

    most

    subject

    to slip

    are those

    of

    the

    greatest

    atomic

    population

    and

    gteatest

    distance

    between

    planes.

    The

    orientation

    of the

    planes

    along which

    slip

    takes

    place

    most

    easily will,

    of

    course, be

    different

    for

    different

    types

    of

    crystal

    lattices.

    Because

    of

    the

    usual random orientation

    of the

    crystals,

    the

    slip

    planes

    of

    many

    will

    not

    be

    in

    line

    with

    the direction

    of

    loading.

    When

    the

    best

    slip

    planes

    are

    completely

    Material

    Theory

    of Recrystallization.

    It is

    belierud

    recrystallization

    takes

    place

    by

    the nucleation d

    grains

    mainly

    about

    the

    high

    energy

    points

    of

    cation

    in

    a

    work-hardened

    grain.

    They then

    grow

    until

    they

    fill the

    old

    grain

    space and

    elimuqH

    the

    existing

    strain

    by

    realignment

    of

    the

    atoms

    into

    e

    new

    crystal

    lattice. Recrystallization

    can

    thus

    be

    a

    grain-refining

    process

    as

    well

    as

    a

    method

    for

    recovery

    of ductility,

    if it

    is discontinued

    as

    soon

    as

    complete

    recrystallization

    has taken

    place.

    The new

    gSains

    formed during

    recrystallization

    are

    likely to

    take

    positions

    with

    preferred orientations'

    Directional

    properties

    caused

    by

    preferred

    orientation

    are

    objectionable

    for most

    manufacturing

    operations.

    This

    tendency

    can

    be reduced

    and

    more

    random

    orientation

    obtained

    by

    the

    addition

    of

    small

    amounts

    of

    an

    alloying

    element

    or

    by

    recrystallizing

    before

    maximum

    work

    hardening

    has

    been

    per-

    formed.

    Recrystallization

    Seldom

    Terminal.

    In a

    few

    cases,

    recrystallization

    may be

    used

    as

    an end

    process

    to

    leave a

    product

    in its

    most

    ductile condition

    or

    with

    its

    best

    electrical

    and

    chemical

    properbies,

    but

    more

    often

    it is an

    in-process

    treatment

    for ductility

    improvement

    or

    for

    grain

    refinement.

    In

    many

    cold

    deformation

    processes,

    such as deep

    drawing,

    the

    ductility

    of the

    material

    may be

    reduced

    by

    cold

    working

    to

    the

    point

    where

    fracture

    failure is

    immi-

    nent.

    Ductility

    may

    be

    retumed

    to

    the

    material

    any

    number of

    times

    by repeated

    recrystallization

    be-

    tween

    steps

    of

    the

    forming

    operation.

    In

    most cases

    tire

    last

    forming

    operation

    will

    not

    be

    followed

    by

    recrystallization,

    in order

    that

    the

    higher

    hardness

    and

    strength

    of

    the

    cold-worked material may

    be

    re-

    tained

    in the

    product.

    Although

    heating

    for

    recovery

    is

    a

    stress-relieving

    process,

    recrystallization

    at

    a

    higher

    temperature

    is

    sometimes

    also

    called

    stress

    relieving.

    The

    same

    proc-

    ess

    may

    be

    referred

    to as

    process

    annealing,

    particular-

    ly when

    performed

    in conjunction

    with

    deformation

    processes.

    GRAIN

    GROWTH

    If

    a

    metal

    is

    kept

    heated

    at

    or

    above

    its

    recry-

    stallization

    temperature

    after the

    new,

    unstrained

    grcins

    have

    formed,

    the

    tendency

    is for

    some

    of

    the

    new

    grains

    to

    absorb others and grow

    to

    larger

    size.

    Large

    grains

    are more

    stable

    than

    small

    grains

    because

    of

    the

    higher

    grain-to-boundary-area

    ratio,

    which

    is a

    lower

    energy

    state.

    If

    fine

    grain

    structure

    is desired

    after

    the

    recrystallization

    process,

    it

    is

    necessary

    to

    reduce

    the

    temperature

    quickly

    to

    prevent

    sub-

    sequent

    grain

    growth.

    This

    is usually

    performed by

    some

    kind

    of

    quench.

    Grain-Size Control

    During

    processing, small

    grain

    size is

    not always

    wanted

    because

    large

    grains

    usually

    exhibit

    gteater

    ductility,

    better

    machinability,

    and

    require

    less

    pressure

    to

    be

    deformed.

    The

    table

    shows

    that

    zinc,

    tin, and

    lead

    re-

    crystallize

    at

    temperatures below

    room

    temperature.

    This

    means

    that

    these

    metals

    in the

    pure

    state

    cannot,

    at ordinary

    temperatures,

    maintain

    a work-hardened

    condition.

    The

    normal

    use

    of

    deformation

    processes

    on

    these

    materials would

    be hot

    working

    rather

    than

    cold working

    since

    it would

    be

    performed

    above

    their

    recrystallization

    temperatures.

    Examination

    of

    the

    table

    also

    reveals that

    contamination

    of

    a

    pure

    metal

    with

    other

    elements

    makes

    it

    more

    difficult

    for

    re-

    crystallization

    to occur,

    and the

    temperatures

    must

    be

    increased

    for

    completion

    to occur

    in a

    reasonable

    length of

    time.

    38 Materials and

    Processes

    for NDT

    Technology

    from

    a

    body-centered

    cubic

    (BCC)

    lattice

    to

    a

    face-

    centered

    cubic

    (FCC)

    lattice. A

    second

    phase

    change

    occurs

    with

    further

    heating

    to

    1,394o

    C

    (2541'

    F),

    where

    the

    lattice

    structure

    retums to

    the

    body-

    centered

    cubic

    form.

    The

    reverse

    transformation

    occurs

    on

    cooling through

    the

    same

    temperatures.

    Iron

    in

    the temperature

    range

    up

    to

    912"

    C

    is called

    alpha

    iron;

    from 912'

    C

    to

    1,394"

    C,

    gamma

    iron;

    and

    above

    1,394' C

    to

    1,538o

    c

    (2,800'

    F), the melt-

    ing

    point,

    delta

    iron. Little

    attention

    is

    given

    to delta

    iron

    because

    the changes

    that

    occur

    in this

    range

    have

    little

    or no

    effect

    in commercial

    practice

    of

    treatment

    for

    properties.

    The

    changes that

    take

    place

    between

    alpha

    and

    gamma

    iron

    at

    912"

    C,

    however,

    are

    ex-

    tremely

    important.

    The

    most effective

    change

    is

    the

    difference

    of

    carbon

    solubility

    in

    the

    two

    phases,

    which

    serves

    as the

    basis

    for

    all

    heat-treat

    hardening

    and most

    grain-size

    control

    for steel.

    HEAT TREATMENT

    OF STEEL

    Steel

    has been

    treated

    by heating

    and

    cooling

    methods

    to vary

    its

    properties

    ever

    since

    its discovery,

    but

    even

    today

    the

    exact mechanism

    by

    which

    these

    variations

    take

    place

    cannot

    be completely

    explained

    by

    fully accepted

    theories.

    Most

    of

    the treatments

    have

    been

    developed

    empirically.

    Various

    theoretical

    explanations

    have been

    used to

    describe

    the

    mechan-

    ism, but

    it

    has been

    only

    in

    recent

    years

    that

    the

    theory

    has advanced

    to

    the

    point that

    it is a

    prime

    source of

    new development

    of

    commercial

    heat-treat-

    ing methods.

    NDT

    and Other

    Control

    Methods. Change

    of

    pro-

    perties

    of

    steel

    can be accomplished

    by

    cold working,

    by

    precipitation hardening, and

    by allotropic

    changes.

    Cold working

    changes

    are

    important

    in most

    of

    the

    cold

    deformation

    processes

    and,

    in

    some

    cases,

    may

    be the

    only

    treatment

    received

    by

    the

    metal.

    Precipi-

    tation

    hardening

    is seldom

    used

    intentionally,

    except

    for stainless

    steels,

    although

    it may

    be

    an accidental

    occutrence with

    some of

    the

    processing treatments.

    Causing

    allotropic

    changes

    by

    heat treating

    proce-

    dures

    is the

    most effective

    and

    most

    easily

    accom-

    plished

    method of

    varying

    mechanical

    properties

    of

    steel and therefore

    is the most

    frequently

    used way

    of

    obtaining the

    desired properties.

    Heat treating

    is often

    defined

    as

    intentional

    heating

    and cooling

    for

    control of

    properties.

    Such

    a defini-

    tion

    is

    perfectly

    good,

    but

    it must

    be remembered

    that the

    effects

    of temperature

    changes

    are no

    less

    important

    when they

    are

    caused

    by

    unintentional

    heat transfer

    during

    a

    process

    such

    as

    fusion

    welding

    or

    during

    a

    service

    use

    in high environmental

    tempera-

    tures

    such

    as

    in a fumace or

    gas

    turbine.

    Assessment

    of thermal

    treatment,

    whether

    inten'

    tional

    or

    not,

    is

    often amenable

    to

    nondestructive

    test'

    ing techniques

    that

    are

    capable

    of

    measuring

    subtle

    changes

    in electrical

    conductivity.

    The

    heat treatment

    processes

    described

    in

    this

    chapter

    produce

    various

    physical

    property

    changes

    including

    electrical

    con-

    ductivity.

    Both eddy current

    and

    thermo'electric

    meth-

    ods are capable

    of

    indicating

    changes

    in

    electrical

    con-

    ductivity

    and

    to some

    extent can

    provide

    absolute

    measures of electrical

    conductivity.

    However,

    both

    methods

    only

    probe

    relatively

    small

    volumes

    of

    the

    test material

    essentially

    at

    an exposed

    surface.

    During

    heat

    treatment,

    exposed

    surfaces

    tend to

    heat and

    cool

    at

    a

    different

    rate

    from the

    interior.

    Thus,

    measure-

    ments

    of

    surface

    characteristics

    do

    not

    necessarily

    characterize

    the condition

    of

    the interior,

    but

    in many

    practical

    cases

    can

    provide

    adequate

    information

    for

    process

    control

    purposes.

    APPROXIMATE

    EQUILIBRIUM

    HEAT

    -

    TREATMENT

    PROCESSES

    Several

    heat-treating

    processes place

    the material

    in

    either

    a

    complete

    or

    an

    approximate equilibrium

    energy condition. These

    processes

    include

    austenitiz-

    ing, annealing, normalizing, and spheroidizing. Except

    for

    the

    first,

    all

    are

    finalized

    at

    room

    temperature

    but since

    austenitizing

    consists

    of diffusion

    of

    carbon

    into face-centered

    cubic

    iron

    that

    exists

    at

    a

    mini-

    mum

    temperature

    of

    727" C

    (eutectoid

    composition

    only,

    all

    others

    higher),

    stability,

    or

    equilibrium,

    in

    this state

    can be

    maintained

    only

    at the

    higher

    temp-

    eratures.

    Austenitization

    is

    therefore

    not

    a fina

    process

    but only

    a

    step

    in one of several

    heat-treating

    procedures. For

    these

    approximate

    equilibrium

    processes,

    it

    is

    possible

    to

    predict

    the

    material

    be

    havior

    from

    the

    equilibrium

    phase diagrams.

    AUSTENITIZATION

    When steel

    is

    heated to

    or

    above its

    critical temp-

    erature

    (transformation

    temperature range),

    the

    value

    of

    which

    is dependent

    upon

    the alloy

    percentages,

    and held

    at temperature

    for some

    period

    of time

    carbon

    unites

    in

    solid

    solution

    with

    iron

    in

    the

    gamma

    or face-centered

    cubic lattice form. In

    this

    phase,

    as much

    as

    27" carbon can dissolve

    at the

    eutectic

    temperature

    of 1,1-48"

    C

    at which

    the

    widest

    range

    of

    gamma

    composition

    exists.

    Grain-Size

    Control.

    It

    is

    important

    that

    the

    austenitization temperatures

    not be exceeded

    more

    than necessary

    to accomplish

    the

    work

    in a reason

    able

    length of time

    because

    grain

    growth

    can occu

    rapidly

    as the

    temperature

    is

    increased. One

    of

    the

    important

    features

    of austenitization

    is

    grain

    refine

    ment that occurs

    with

    the

    formation of

    the

    new

    face

    centered

    cubic

    lattice. These

    new

    small

    grains

    are

    nucleated with

    the raising

    of the

    metal

    temperature

    through

    the austenite

    range and will

    remain

    small

    i

    the

    temperature

    is

    not

    raised

    too high

    or

    maintained

    too long.

    10/14

    40 Materials and

    Processes

    for

    NDT

    Technology

    Distortion

    and Cracking

    Minimized

    by

    Martemper-

    ing.

    Several

    special

    types

    of

    quench are

    conducted

    to

    minimize

    quenching

    stresses and

    decrease

    the

    ten-

    dency

    for

    distortion

    and

    cracking.

    One of

    these,

    is

    called

    martempering

    and consists

    of

    quenching

    an

    austenitized

    steel

    in

    a

    salt bath

    at

    a

    temperature

    about

    that

    needed

    for the start of

    martensite

    formation.

    The

    steel being

    quenched

    is

    held

    in this

    bath

    until

    it is of

    uniform

    temperature

    but is

    removed before there

    is

    time for the

    formation of bainite

    to

    start. Completion

    of the cooling

    in air

    then causes

    the same

    hard

    marten-

    site

    that would

    have formed with

    quenching

    from

    the

    high temperature,

    but

    the

    high thermal

    or

    "quench"

    stresses

    that are

    the

    primary

    source

    of

    cracks

    and

    warping

    will

    have

    been

    eliminated.

    Austempering

    -

    a Terminal

    Step.

    A

    similar

    proc-

    ess

    performed

    at a

    slightly higher

    temperature

    is

    called

    austempering,

    ln

    this

    case

    the steel

    is

    held at

    the

    bath

    temperature

    for a longer

    period,

    and

    the

    result of the

    isothermal treatment

    is the

    formation

    of

    bainite. The bainite

    structure

    is

    not

    as

    hard

    as the

    martensite

    that

    could

    be formed

    from

    the

    same

    com-

    position,

    but

    in

    addition

    to reducing

    the

    thermal

    shock to which

    the

    steel

    would

    be

    subjected

    under

    normal

    hardening

    procedures,

    it

    is

    unnecessary

    to

    perform

    any

    further

    treatment

    to

    develop

    good

    impact

    resistance

    in the high

    hardness

    range.

    TEMPERING

    A

    third

    step

    usually

    required

    to

    condition

    a hard-

    ened steel

    for service

    is

    tempering,

    or

    as

    it is

    some-

    times

    referred

    to, drawing.

    With

    the

    exception

    of

    austempered

    steel,

    which

    is

    frequently

    used

    in

    the

    as-hardened

    condition.

    most

    steels are

    not

    serviceable

    "as

    quenched".

    The drastic

    cooling

    to

    produce

    mar-

    tensite causes the

    steel to

    be

    very

    hard and

    to

    contain

    both macroscopic

    and

    microscopic

    intemal

    stresses

    with

    the result that the

    material

    has

    little

    ductility

    and extreme

    brittleness. Reduction

    of

    these

    faults

    is

    accomplished

    by reheating

    the

    steel to

    some

    point

    below

    the

    lower transformation

    temperature.

    The

    structural

    changes caused

    by

    tempering

    of

    hardened

    steel are

    functions

    of both time

    and

    temperature,

    with

    temperature

    being

    the most

    important.

    It should

    be

    emphasized

    that tempering

    is not

    a

    hardening

    process'

    but

    is,

    instead,

    the

    reverse. A tempered

    steel

    is

    one

    that

    has

    been hardened

    by

    heat

    treatment

    and

    then

    stress

    relieved,

    softened, and

    provided with

    increased

    ductility

    by

    reheating

    in the tempering

    or drawing

    pro-

    cedure.

    CORROSION

    Corrosion

    Definition. In

    general,

    conosion

    is the

    deterioration

    of

    metals

    by the chemical

    action

    of

    some

    surrounding

    or contracting

    medium which

    may

    be

    li-

    quid, gas,

    or some combination

    of

    the

    two.

    To

    some

    de-

    gree,

    corrosion

    can

    influence

    all

    metals,

    but

    its effect

    varies widely

    depending

    upon

    the combination

    of

    metal

    and

    corrosive

    agent.

    The term

    "corrosion" is

    used

    to describe

    action

    that

    is normally considered

    to be

    detrimental,

    but

    the

    prin-

    ciple

    is

    actually

    used

    for benefit

    in some

    cases.

    For

    ex-

    ample, acids

    and alkalies

    are

    used

    to corrode

    metal

    away

    in the

    manufacturing

    process

    of chemical

    milling.

    Also, aluminum alloys

    are

    frequently

    anodized

    to

    pro-

    duce an

    oxide coating

    that

    resists

    further

    oxidation

    and,

    in addition,

    may

    serve

    as an

    improved

    surface

    for

    paint

    adhesion.

    Corrosion

    attacks

    metals

    by direct

    chemical action,

    by

    electrolysis

    (electrochemical

    action),

    or

    commonly

    by

    a combination

    of

    the

    two. The subject

    is

    complex

    and

    many

    persons have

    devoted

    their

    lives

    to its study.

    This

    discussion

    will summarize

    some

    of

    the

    known

    facts

    concerning

    the subject

    in

    order

    to develop

    some

    understanding

    of corrosion,

    its

    detection,

    and

    preven-

    tion.

    DIRECT

    CHEMICAL

    ACTION

    Theoretically,

    all

    corrosion

    phenomena

    are

    electro-

    mechanical

    because

    a

    transfer

    of electrons

    takes

    place

    but the term

    direct chemical

    action

    is used

    to

    describe

    those reactions where

    coupled

    anodes

    and cathodes

    ex-

    isting

    in an electrolyte

    are

    not identifiable.

    The chemi-

    cal

    milling mentioned above

    is

    direct

    chemical

    action.

    Another

    example

    is

    pickling of

    steel,

    a

    process

    in

    which

    heated

    dilute

    sulpheric acid

    baths

    are

    used

    to

    dissolve surface

    scale

    withut

    leaving

    a

    residue

    and

    pro-

    ducing only

    minor chemical

    attack

    on

    the

    steel

    proper.

    Figure 4-5

    illustrates

    another

    example

    of direct chemi-

    cal action.

    Direct

    chemical

    reaction

    is usually

    evident

    from

    bubbles

    4-3 shows

    metals

    ranged in order

    of their

    decreasing

    chemical

    activity

    in

    sea water.

    This

    is a special

    arrangement

    of

    the electro-

    mechanical

    and

    the

    electromotive

    force
