Abstract: | The influence of calcium on the brittle–ductile transition temperature is studied for the solidification range. The test bars were cast from carbon steel with and without the addition of calcium. Mechanical properties at different temperatures around the solidus were evaluated. The fractured surfaces were examined using a scanning microscope coupled with a Kevex analyser. For the modified steel, the liquid phase appears (on heating) for higher temperature while the temperature range within which fracture can nucleate, during casting or welding, is markedly narrowed. In medium-carbon steel, calcium changes the manner of fusion of the grains. The inclusions of the liquid phase form at the triple points and the surfaces of grains remain solid above the solidus temperature. |
