Effects of continuous cooling and isothermal cooling parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of EH420 marine steel by Hui Liu, Zhiqiang Wu, Guili Xu, Junhong Yu, Daheng Xiao, Wenhao Zhou, Biao Deng, Xuhui Liu, Jun Hu

“…Meanwhile, the ferrite undergoes a transformation from polygonal to an elongated morphology, and the average grain size decreases from 13.6 ± 6.3 μm to 3.7 ± 1.5 μm due to fast cooling, which limits grain growth. During the isothermal cooling process, the microstructure mainly consists of ferrite, pearlite, and a mixed structure of bainite and martensite. …”
