Figures & data
Figure 1. Representation of the dislocation forest hardening contribution () to the yield strength of tempered martensitic steels. The dots on the graph represent the measured dislocation density (x-coordinate) and yield strength (y-coordinate) values of the material, where HS and LS represent high-silicon and low-silicon alloys, respectively, tempered at 250, 350 and 450
C.
Figure 2. Modelling recovery considering cross-slip and solute drag mechanisms, and a combination of both processes, for (a) HS and (b) LS.
Figure 3. Representative microstructures for HS and LS tempered at 250, 350 and 450 C.
Figure 4. Schematic representation of intralath precipitation and recovery of low-angle grain boundaries.
