SiO_2 AS HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEI OF INTERGROWTH EUTECTIC IN MODIFIED AS-CAST MEDIUM MANGANESE STEEL

By calculation of thermodynamics,analysis of crystal structure and study of TEM and eletron probe,it is first discovered that SiO2 can be acted as one of the heterogeneous nu- clei for lamellar intergorowth eutectic(austenite and cementite)crystallizing in modified as-cast medium manganese steel.
