Abstract
The neutron depolarization technique is used for a simultaneous observ ation of the grain size and the volume fraction of ferrite and pearlit e forming from austenite in a medium-carbon steel at different tempera tures. The effect of the transformation temperature is mainly visible in the particle density, a property that is governed by the nucleation behaviour. Pearlite formation leads to very distinct effects in neutr on depolarization, the interpretation of which, however, is not yet fu lly developed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
