This invention belongs to the field of
metallic materials technology, specifically a method for in-situ measurement of the solution and
precipitation temperatures of MC-type carbides using
internal friction. The invention uses pure iron and pure
chromium to prepare Fe-Cr based
alloy samples, which are then processed into
internal friction samples after
solution treatment and rolling. Under vacuum, the samples are heated at a
constant rate to a preset target temperature covering the expected
solid solution characteristic temperature range of MC-type carbides and held at that temperature. Then, they are cooled at the same rate, and the
internal friction value and modulus are continuously measured. First and second in-situ internal friction temperature spectra are plotted. By comparing the
grain boundary relaxation peak
frequency dispersion characteristics, abrupt changes in internal friction value, and modulus changes in the
two temperature spectra, the solution and
precipitation temperatures of MC-type carbides are determined. This method is
highly sensitive, simple to operate, and suitable for in-situ characterization of
grain boundary precipitates in low-carbon Fe-Cr based alloys.
