Abstract
Segregation of phosphorus and molybdenum to grain boundaries in a commercial grade of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel subjected to different heat treatments has been examined using a field emission gun scanning transmission electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The results indicate that P and Mo concentrations at prior austenite grain boundaries increase with aging time. This follows the prediction of McLean's equilibrium segregation model, when modified to take account of the interaction energy between phosphorus and molybdenum.
