Abstract

The mechanism of cleavage fracture initiated by microcracking of (Ti,V)(C,N) particles of heterogeneous composition has been investigated in Ti V N and V-N microalloyed forging steels. Preferential microcracking of the (Ti,V)(C,N) particles was observed to occur across the interface which separates regions richer in V from lower V content regions. (C)2003 Acta Materialia Inc.
