Abstract

Pearlite structures in eutectoid carbon steel seldom are perfectly lamellar. Structures in thermomechanically processed material in particular often consist of complex mixtures of lamellar, degenerated, and globular domains. In order to open the possibility of modelling structure –property relationships for such material, techniques have to be developed to quantitatively describe the morphology of its pearlite structure. The present article shows how EBSD and the Hough transform can give complementary information that can be further developed into a quantitative description of pearlitic structures.

Keywords: Pearlite; Colony; Nodule; Electron Back Scattering Diffraction (EBSD); Hough Transform
