In order to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of High Speed Steel (HSS), electromagnetic stirring method is adopted to enhance the solidification of target materials in this paper. The results show that optimization of the microstructure, refinement of the grain, reducing in segregation of the alloy elements, and improvement of the comprehensive properties of HSS can be obtained by the electromagnetic stirring through changing the morphology and distribution of the carbide.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of W9Mo3Cr4V high speed steel fabricated by spray deposition have been studied. Spray deposited W9Mo3Cr4V high speed steel has a typical equiaxed structure which is finer and more homogeneous with a grain size of 20-30 micrometer compared with conventional casted counterparts. There are pores in the matrix of the deposited steel, which involve gas porosity, filling porosity and solidification shrinkage. As-deposited high speed steel is mainly composed of martensite, austenite and carbides which comprise MC carbide and M6C carbide. Mechanical properties show that the hardness and bending strength of the as-deposited steel are higher than that of the conventionally casted ones. However, impact toughness of the high speed steel is lower than that of the conventionally casted steel, which can be attributed to the existence of porosities and M6C carbides which reduce the impact toughness of high speed steels.
