In the present study, the carbon atom distribution and carbide precipitation behavior of Hadfield steel under three distinct states, namely, the quenched Hadfield steel, the deformed Hadfield steel (coarse grain), and the nanocrystallized Hadfield steel, were studied using dynamic thermomechanical analysis, transmission electron microscopy, three-dimensional atom probe, X-ray diffraction, and optical microscopy. Results showed apparent differences in elastic modulus change in the Hadfield steel under three distinct states in the dynamic thermomechanical analysis. Those results proved that the dynamic elastic modulus could be used to determine carbide precipitation behavior in steels during heat treatment. The carbide precipitation temperatures of the nanocrystallized Hadfield steel and the deformed Hadfield steel were higher than that of the quenched Hadfield steel. This phenomenon was attributed to the promoted diffusion of'carbon atoms to the stress field. of defects during plastic deformation and nano crystallization process. This process induced a more homogeneous distribution of carbon atoms in the Hadfield steel. As a result, the precipitated carbides were much finer and more dispersive, especially in the nanocrystallized Hadfield steel. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.
