Full textLower bath superheats allowed a reaction to take place at the steel shell/niobium interface while higher superheats didn't; the intermetallic compounds Fe$ sb 2$Nb and Fe$ sb 2$Nb$ sb 3$ were identified as the reaction products. Niobium dissolved relatively slowly in liquid steel and its dissolution speed was increased under dynamic conditions (i.e., inductively stirred baths).
In the case of zirconium, an exothermic reaction occurred at the steel shell/zirconium interface and the intermetallics Fe$ sb 2$Zr and FeZr$ sb 2$ were identified as the reaction products. This reaction was triggered at 1220 K by the formation of a liquid Fe-Zr (76 at% Zr) eutectic. For the experimental conditions under which this study was performed, the hydrodynamic conditions of the steel baths did not seem to influence the dissolution rates of zirconium.
A simplified mathematical model was used in order to simulate the coupled heat and mass transfer phenomena which take place during the two periods.

Full textPhase transformations in steel are of profound commercial importance due to the fact that they influence the physical and mechanical properties of the end product. During the casting process, which occurs at temperatures in excess of 1500°C, the microstructure of the steel is austenitic. During slow cooling the austenite will decompose into lower temperature microstructures such as ferrite, pearlite or hard, brittle cementite, the latter becoming increasingly present the higher the carbon content of the steel. Steel manufacturers, however, make use of additional forming processes such as rolling, quenching and reheat or tempering to impart specific mechanical or metallurgical properties to a particular steel. If the cooling rate is increased, as would be the case during a quenching process, the austenite will decompose forming a needle like microstructure called bainite in addition to the other microstructures. A further increase in the cooling rate will result in the diffusionless transformation of part of the austenite to form martensite, a hard brittle microstructure. If heat was now to be applied to the steel, as in a tempering process, some of the martensite formed during the quenching process will again transform into a softer microstructure such as pearlite or ferrite.

A method was devised for quenching undercooled samples of Fe-12Cr-16Ni. The samples were levitated in a magnetic field as a way of containerless processing. They were dropped onto a nucleation trigger and then into a quenching bath. This process was successful in producing quenched samples , but the layer of In-Ga wetting their surface showed problematic in the analysis of the samples. Data shows that double recalescence was observed in a few cases. SEM proved inconclusive and was not sensitive enough to detect the small chemical variations expected in the dendrites. Also, across the entirety of the sample there was no significant partitioning of Cr or Ni.

The competition between microfracture and plastic flow has been studied in relation to the thermomechanical processing parameters and minor element chemistry of wrought super-ferritic alloys based on a composition of Fe-40wt% Cr. These alloys have been developed for corrosion-resistant applications, specifically by micro-alloying with platinum group metals to induce cathodic modification, but their use has been hampered by inadequate toughness at ambient temperatures. Brittle cleavage of the alloys is a consequence of the high resistance to plastic flow required to accommodate local stresses, such as those found ahead of a loaded crack. Once initiated, a crack propagates in a brittle manner with minimal ductility. The impact toughness therefore relies on the ability of the alloys to withstand crack initiation. The frequency of the crack initiation events is related to the distribution of secondary phases within the matrix and at the grain boundaries. A direct means of improving the toughness and the ductility is accordingly via annealing cycles and minor alloying additions to control the precipitation of second phases. The ductility is enhanced by raising the mobile dislocation density, and this may be achieved by pre-straining recrystallised material, or increasing the number of dislocation sources in the otherwise source-poor material. The generation of mobile dislocations by prismatic punching at second phase particles in response to local or tessellated stresses was found to increase the ductility and the impact toughness of the alloy. The addition of nickel also increases the brittle fracture resistance by promoting stress accommodation at the crack tip, a result which can, in principle, be explained on the basis of enhanced dislocation dynamics. The tendency of the alloys to form a stable recovered substructure was identified as a critical parameter for both the mechanical and corrosion properties. The low-angle dislocation sub-arrays contribute to overall strain-hardening, but destabilise the passivity of the alloys in acid media. In practice, rationalisation of the microstructural parameters has enabled the practicable fabrication of tough, corrosion-resistant alloys, suitable for commercial development.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 99-102).
The rapid solidification growth behavior of ternary stainless steel alloys was examined using electromagnetic levitation and high-speed digital imaging, and the growth behavior of the stable fee austenite (gamma) phase into the pre-existing metastable bee ferrite [delta] solid/liquid dendrite array was successfully modeled. Alloys with equal thermal driving force for growth during secondary recalescence but different solute concentrations were selected and compared. The growth velocity of stable -y into the metastable [delta]/l semi-solid (Vss ) was confirmed to be independent of undercooling and was determined to be a function of solute concentration. Because the build-up of solute ahead of the dendrite acts to slown down the growing tip, growth velocity decreases as solute concentation increases. It has been shown previously that at a given undercooling, the fee phase grows faster into the bee solid/liquid array when compared to growth into liquid alone. A growth model involving heat extraction was developed that successfully characterizes this behavior. In the model, heat is extracted from the austenite dendrite tip to the pre-exisitng ferrite solid, which acts as a heat sink. The latent heat of fusion rejected at the tip to the liquid is reduced. The solid fee is able to grow into the bee semi-solid at a faster rate because the barrier to growth is curtailed. The model predicts that the amount of heat extracted to the solid, H s, is a linear function that decreases to zero as thermal driving force increases. After heat extraction ceases. the growth velocity of austenite into semi-solid is expected to behave analogous to the growth rate into liquid. It was determined that the difference between the growth velocity into semi-solid and growth into liquid, [Delta]V, actually depends on the product of Hs and Vss , or the rate of heat extraction, J. As thermal driving force increases, both [Delta]V and J increase to the a local maximum before decreasing to zero at the same rate. The model values of Hs can be used in conjunction with existing dendrite growth theory to predict Vss. The resulting velocity for alloys with equal solute concentration is a linear function of thermal driving force, with the slope depending on the empirically determined kinetic coefficient. Experimental values and model predictions for both Hs and Vss agree well.
