| The Role of In-Situ Techniques in Microstructure Optimization of Interstitially Alloyed Steels |
In-situ techniques such as thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, and dilatometry enable real-time monitoring of heat treatment, offering valuable insight into the thermal behavior of martensitic stainless steels. This is especially important for powder metal applications, including additive manufacturing with high-carbon steel powders like 440C, D2, H13, and T15. These methods support process optimization and material development by revealing key microstructural changes during treatment.
