 1838.    KOCH, W.  [Electrolytic Separation of Carbides in Alloy and Carbon Steels.]  Stahl u. Eisen, vol. 69, 1949, pp. 1-8; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 5718.

        It is possible to isolate carbides in ferritic-pearlitic steels without breaking them down.  When performing the separation in heat-treated steels in the transition or martensite phase, the C remains in the residue.  The investigation of these carbides is difficult because of the surface activity of these materials.  Electron microscopy was used, and photographs are shown.
