RESUMO

The purpose of this work comes together with the objective to adapt a phase transformation research laboratory using dilatometric method, where it will be possible to study the solid state reactions of materials submited to thermal cycles. To fulfil this purpose, it was installed a high speed quenching dilatometer, model DT 1000 manufactured by Adamel Lhomargy. After this stage, our next step was to explorer all equipment resources through variable thermal cycles. Appling dilatometric method to a well known thermomechanical steel - SAE 1070 - it becomes possible the accomplishment of more complex experiments with this equipment. This equipment, itself, may be a powerfull auxilliary instrument to phase transformations studies. In this first investigation, it was studied the dilatometric curves to find the beginning and the end times of isothermal phase transformation for several austenite decomposition temperatures - TTT diagram - for the tested steel (thermal treated). The effect of this previous heat treatment (annealing) on the alfafor gamatransformation were observed. Finally, the isothermal phase transformation at the different tested temperatures could be confirmed through metallographic and microhardness analysis. In order to solve possible problems associated to the equipment use or maintenance, some suggestions of applications of the high speed quenching dilatometer are indicated for further works.
