Systematic microstructural and mechanical investigations of the Fe84.3Cr4.3Mo4.6V2.2C4.6 alloy cast under special manufacturing conditions in the as-cast state and after specific heat treatment are presented to point out that the special manufacturing of the alloy led to high compression strength (up to 4680 MPa) combined with large fracture strain (about 20%) already in the as-cast state. One select chemical composition of the alloy, which was mentioned previously [Kühn et al., Appl. Phys. Lett.90, 261901 (2007)] enhanced mechanical properties already in the as-cast state. Furthermore, that composition is comparable to commercial high-speed steel. By the special manufacturing used, a high purity of elements and a high cooling rate, which led to a microstructure similar to a composite-like material, composed of dendritic area (martensite, bainite, and ferrite) and interdendritic area (e.g., complex carbides). The presented article demonstrates an alloy that exhibits already in the as-cast state high fracture strength and large ductility. Furthermore, these outstanding mechanical properties remain unchanged after heating up to 873 K.

ABSTRACTLinear heat source surface melting studies have been carried out using a 1 to 15 kH oscillating beam incident on a steel substrate to produce a 3 to 35mm wide rapidly solidified strip of material at rates ranging from 1 to 100 cm.s−1. A simple relationship betweenmelt depth, power, and substrate velocity (V) has been determined at low values of V; limited results at higher velocities appear to follow the same relationship. A serendipitous discovery was the effect of prior surface homogenization treatment on the geometrical and microstructural uniformity of the subsequently formed rapidly solidified layers. This pre-treatment resulted in the formation of thin layers of uniform thickness under the most rapid processing condition (V = 100 cm.s−l). Omission of pre-treatnent resulted in irregular and sometimes discontinuous surface layers. In the case of a high speed steel of near peritectic composition (M2)pre-treatment resulted in the almost complete elimination of massive austenitic region within the dominant ferrite phase.

AbstractMartensitic refinement is observed in rapidly solidified high speed steel (M7) by introducing a short ‘thermal arrest’ during cooling. This is accomplished using microcomputer controlled electron beam deflection for the generation of preselectcd scanning patterns. Such a tcchnique provides a high degree of control over short-duration heating at high temperatures and thus facilitates the use of fast reaction rate kinetics. By programming a ‘thermal arrest’ in the austenite range it has been found possible to obtain a distribution of fine carbides within the solidification cells. These carbides, it was found, result in refinement of the martensitic structure.
