ferritic and martensitic steels

Jul 22, 2005 8 Replies

Can a steel be ferritic AND martensitic at the same time?



Are martensitic steels a sub class of ferritic steeel or are a totally different family?



A research made on crack initiation and growth in martensitic steels is useful for ferritic steel as well or not?



Thank you



You need to read a book on the subject.

Yes No Yes Probably Not

I second that.

What book, please?

You know, I graduated in business administration, for me metallurgy is a branch of alchemy...

Carroll Smith's "Engineer to Win" ..... how to engineer race cars that win and don't break.

Metallurgy for the race car enthusiast.... not the perfectionistic engineer or scientist.

Less than $25.00 and worth every penney to a businessman.

Not a bad choice, I might go for Materials for engineering

or

Materials science and Engineering by WD Callister, but it is a text book.

Depending on why you are looking, you may struggle to answer you question on fatigue data.

At my university, we used "Materials science and engineering - an introduction" by William D. Callister. Excellent and easy to read book. Don't be scared by the title :-)

BTW: I noticed that somebody else already has recommended this book to you.
