Amorphous Fe1−xCx coatings as carbon reservoirs for diffusion strengthening of steel sheets
Abstract
In situ transmission electron microscopy–electron energy loss spectroscopy heating experiments were carried out to study the composition, structure and thermal stability of physical-vapour-deposited amorphous-Fe1−x-Cx films. Compositionally graded interstitial-free steel sheets were then produced by diffusion annealing specimens coated with thin layers of amorphous-Fe0.4C0.6. After annealing at 425°C, tensile samples exhibited a+86MPa increase …
