We continue to review some of the most important materials in heat treatment and metallurgy. 

This is the conclusion to David Pye's blog on retained austenite.

The heat treatment of steel often involves heating a component part into the austenite region (aka austenite phase field) in order to perform a thermal treatment such as normalizing, hardening, case hardening, etc.

The recent staging of the Bright World of Metals, which consists of GIFA, METEC, Thermprocess and Newcast, confirmed its position at the world’s most important international platform for the metallurgy and casting sectors. Numerous investments, spontaneous business deals and lively discussions characterized the dynamic atmosphere in the 12 halls of the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The company is using the Alnor dew-point test unit. The Alnor unit has been in the heat-treatment industry since the mid-1920s.

While in the U.K. on metallurgical consulting assignments, the writer was presented with a problem of varying surface hardness due to inconsistent formations of retained austenite on repeated batches of carburized and hardened heat-treated components.
