At elevated temperatures, the carbide phases in certain carbon steels are unstable and can decompose into graphite nodules. This process is known as graphitization.
Graphitization is a change in the microstructure of certain carbon steels and ½Mo steels after long-term operation in the 800 °F to 1100 °F (425 °C to 595 °C) range. At these temperatures, the carbide phases in these steels are unstable and decompose into graphite nodules.
