Two steelgrades were used steel A and steel B. Steel A has no aluminum,but steel B has aluminum present. To fade out the already present particles, as received,steel under investigation was solution heat-treated at 1200°C. Then both the steel samples were heat treated at 750°C and 810°C under 15, 20, 35, and 70 sec incubation time in the cyanide added liquid bath furnace. Itwasrapidly cooled from the elevated temperature at room temperature in ordinary water.The conventional metallography steps were performed to reveal the microstructure.In two etchant solutions, microstructural features were observed by advanced Olympus optical microscope under polarized light by etching.A scanning electron microscope was used to get the critical micrographs.It was concluded that aluminum combined with nitrogen stimulates the fine aluminum nitride (AlN) particles. These particles were the major source to hinder the grain boundary mobility. Consequently, phase transformation was interrupted in aluminum added steel andloweredthe critical temperatures. Surprisingly there was no such attitude observed without aluminum added steel.
