The microstructure and properties of niobium-containing AISI M3:2 high speed steels (HSSs) fabricated by spray forming and traditional casting have been investigated. The results show that fine and uniformly-distributed grains without macrosegregation appeared in the as-deposited HSSs that differ from those of as-cast HSSs. Nb mostly appears in primary MC carbides, whereas it contributes less to the formation of M6C carbides. The high stabilization of Nb-rich MC carbides can pin the grain boundaries during high-temperature austenitizing process, thus conferring a fine grains and raising the content of dissolved alloying elements. Enhanced precipitation strengthening and fine dispersion of NbC carbides throughout the matrix contribute to the high hardness and red hardness of Nb-containing HSS.

The aim of the work was to prepare an overview about the microstructures present in high-speed steel, focused on the crystallography of the carbides. High-speed steels are currently obtained by casting, powder metallurgy and more recently spray forming. High-speed steels have a high hardness resulting from a microstructure, which consists of a steel matrix (martensite and ferrite), in which embedded carbides of different crystal structure, chemical composition, morphology and size, exist. These carbides are commonly named MxC, where M represents one or more metallic atoms. These carbides can be identified by X-ray diffraction considering M as a unique metallic atom. In this work, it is discussed, in basis of the first principles of physics crystallography, the validation of this identification when it is considered that other atoms in the structure are substitutional. Further, it is discussed some requirements for data acquisition that allows the Rietveld refinement to be applied on carbide crystallography and phase amount determination.

Microstructure Refining

Spray forming has attracted considerable attention for the production of high speed steels due to its potential and priority in the microstructure refining and cost saving. In this study, high-quality large billets of 2060 high speed steel were successfully produced by spray forming process using a twin-atomizer facility. As-deposited billet was subsequently processed by hot forging, quenching in oil at 1180 °C and a triple tempering in the temperature range of 500-580 °C. The microstructures and hardness of the deposit and their subsequent development resulting from hot forging and heat treatment were investigated. This paper was designed to provide insight and have a better understanding of such a system for the steel. The results showed that the as-deposited microstructure was composed of the fine equiaxed grains with V-rich MC and W-Mo-rich M2C carbides non-uniformly distributed along the grain boundaries and inside the grains. M2C presented rod-like or unconnected net-shaped morphologies in the as-deposited microstructure. Following hot forging, metastable M2C carbides were completely decomposed into refined MC and M6C nearly spherical carbides uniformly distributed throughout the microstructure. A hardness value of 31HRC was attained for the spray deposited and hot forged samples. With increasing the tempering temperature, hardness was increased firstly and then decreased. Secondary hardening peak appeared at 540 °C for spray formed 2060 steel austenitized at 1180 °C, and the corresponding peak hardness reached 71HRC.

M2 High Speed Steel

Machining tools (interchangeable inserts) were manufactured from spray formed AISI M2 high-speed steel. The spray formed materials were mechanical and microstructural characterised. An assessment of the machining performance of the spray formed high-speed steel was attained. These results were compared to materials obtained by conventional and powder metallurgy techniques. The results showed that under the used process conditions (hot rolling and heat treating), the spray formed material showed a machining behaviour near closed to other materials; and highlight the potential of the spray forming technique for the obtention of materials with adequate properties for machining tools manufacturing.
