Aisi D2 Tool Steel

Tool steels are commonly used to cut metal materials due to their distinctive hardness, resistance to abrasion and deformation. However, tool steels are difficult to be joined using conventional fusion welding process. In this study, a thixotropic property of metal was utilised to butt-join an AISI D2 tool steel by using uncommon direct partial re-melting (DPRM) method. A high frequency of induction heating is used to apply the DPRM method. From the recent study, there are many methods in achieving the globular microstructure with the success of semi-solid joining process. Though, very less information on the microstructural effect of semi-solid joining on the mechanical properties was reported. This study aims to analyse the effect of uniaxial force on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the thixo-joint of D2 tool steel. The microstructural analysis showed the diffusion occurred between the grains of the thixo-joint sample with 2.5 N uniaxial force. The maximum strength of the thixo-joint sample with force was 652 MPa. This was slightly higher than the as-received sample and the thixo-joint sample without force. The average hardness value of the thixo-joint sample was 400 HV due to the transformation of ferrite to the metastable austenite.

The key to all semisolid processes is spherical and non-dendritic particles suspended in a liquid matrix. This special kind of microstructure causes the semisolid material to behave like a non-Newtonian fluid dependent on time and shear rate. Semi solid metal processing gives less shrinkage and porosity, non-macro segregation, lower flow stress, good formability and increased die life compared with conventional production methods. Therefore, semi solid processing introduces a good option for massive forming of high temperature alloys. Here, by partial remelting of M2 tool steel alloy under rapid compression test, deformation mechanism of steel alloy and its correlation to rheological properties were investigated. Flow stress for M2 tool steel alloy corresponding to solid fraction above 55% derived at constant strain rate and holding time. In order to investigate the parameter involved in this process, in the second stage of experiments the ram speed and holding time are variable. The analysis of the derived curves shows that the semisolid slurries exhibit a pseudo plastic behavior dependent on stain rate and temperature. The classical power law model used to describe the rheological and thixotropic dependence.

Aisi D2 Tool Steel

Due to the growing demand for cold-work tool steel in various industrial applications, it is crucial to improve the fabrication technique, because complex shapes involve an extensive and costly workshop effort. Hence, a one-step net-shaping process, such as the semi-solid forming, could offer great benefits. With the aim of finding a minimum process chain for the manufacturing of a high-quality production, the microstructural evolution of the ledeburitic AISI D2 tool steel in the semi-solid-state was studied experimentally via the Direct Partial Re-Melting Method (DPRM). Samples were heated in an argon atmosphere up to 1255°C, which corresponded to about 16% of liquid fraction, and held for 0 minute. The microstructural observation after DPRM showed that the equiaxed austenite grains are observable within a small liquid matrix. The microstructure also contains primary, non-dissolved carbides with a new, precipitated eutectic.

High chromium cast iron samples of 14% Cr and 24% Cr were produced in sand and permanent mold using semi-solid casting process. A series of experiments were carried out to clarify the effect of copper cooling plate and mold cooling rate on microstructure, particularly morphology and sphericity of primary austenite, hardness and heat treatment cycles. Results show that for 14% Cr and 24% cast irons casting at 10 and 15 degrees of inclined plate result in better sphericity and distribution of primary austenite and carbides. Moreover hardness comparison of both semi-solid iron alloys using copper cooling plate at of this special morphologies resulted from cooling plate investigated by making them heat treat at 1050 centigrade °C for 1 and 2 hours. Hardness results show both heat treated 14 and 24% Cr alloy in 1 hours have hardness comparable with those alloys traditionally cast optimum angles with respect to conventional casting show higher hardness in every condition. Effect but heat treated in 2 hours. Finally X-Ray diffraction pattern taken from specimens before and after heat treatment confirmed with observed phases in optical microscopy before and after heat treatment.

The rheological behavior of semi-solid tool steel is investigated using a conventional rheometer under cooling rate and shear rate. The processing of steels in semi-solid state is still at development stage due to the high processing temperature involved. The candidate grades of steel for thixoforming are high speed, high carbon, stainless steel and ductile iron. TheHS6-5-2 tool steel has a wide semi-solid range of over 200 C and the required spheroidal microstructure achieved by partial re-melting from as supplied state without any mechanical agitation, indicated the potential of this grade to be investigated in semi-solid processing. For non-isothermal processing an increase of solid fraction related to solidification due to thermal exchanges is observed. In the first series of experiment after melting the feed stock in an alumina cup, the alloy is sheared continuously by a rotating rod with a constant shear rate under three different cooling rates to the 55% corresponding liquid fraction. In the second series of experiment three different shear rates were applied under a constant cooling rate. The apparent viscosity of the slurry as a function of cooling rate and solid fraction is calculated from the applied torque to the outer cylinder. The results show that the slurry viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate and increases with increasing cooling rate and solid fraction. Additionally for a given solid fraction, shear thinning behavior is observed.
