In this paper, the fundamental microstructure evolution of M2 high speed steel was investigated during semi-solid controlled cooling and conventional cooling, respectively. Semi-solid controlled cooling was conducted at 1260 °C with cooling rates from 0.1 to 10 °C/s, while conventional cooling was conducted at 1200 °C and 890 °C with different cooling rates. The continuous cooling transformation curves were plot according to the microstructure evolution. The results showed that microstructure transformation behavior of cooling structure in semi-solid temperature range was different from that of conventional process. For semi-solid specimen, the solid austenite dissolved more alloy elements, and the austenite stability was increased. The solid matrix was pearlite structure in the samples with cooling rate of 0.1 °C /s. When the cooling rate reached 1 °C/s, the granular pearlite disappeared and martensite lath was formed. The structure was relatively uniform, on which there were large carbide with regular shape. The solidified liquid phase showed a network shape surrounding the solid particles. The size of solid particles showed a decreasing trend with the increase of cooling rates. For conventional cooling process, the large eutectic M6C carbide and the small precipitated MC carbide could not be dissolved by austenitized at 890 °C. Increasing the austenitization temperature helped dissolving part of the carbides. The hardenability of M2 steel was high. The hardness has increased to a high level for both semi-solid and conventional specimens when cooling rate reached 1 °C/s. No obvious increase happened when cooling rate continued increasing.

The article is devoted to the metallographic analysis of the M2 high-speed steel granules. The study is based on the investigation of the microstructure of the M2 high-speed steel granules obtained by melt atomization. It is demonstrated that granules of similar size can harden both by chemically separating and chemically non-separating mechanism. These last ones have supersaturated solid solution structure of the liquid melt composition, a dispersed dendritic-cellular structure and an increased microhardness HV = 10267±201 MPa.

M2 High Speed Steel

Cracks and delamination, resulting from residual stresses, are a barrier in the world of additive manufacturing and selective laser melting (SLM) that prohibits the use of many metals in this field. By preheating the baseplate, thermal gradients are lowered and stresses can be reduced. In this work, some initial tests were performed with M2 high speed steel (HSS). The influence of preheating on density and mechanical and physical properties is investigated. The paper shows many promising results for the production of SLM parts in materials that are very sensitive to crack formation and delamination. When using a preheating of 200 °C, crack-free M2 HSS parts were produced with a relative density of 99.8%.

M2 High Speed Steel

This paper reports on the compatibility of waste rubber as binder for M2 High Speed Steel injection moulding. The feedstock was prepared at a powder loading of 65 vol.% using 22μm M2 High Speed Steel powder and the binders consisting of 55wt.% paraffin wax, 21wt.% polyethylene, 14wt.% waste rubber and 10wt.% stearic acid. The specimens were then sintered in vacuum and 95%N2/5%H2 atmosphere. The sintering in vacuum atmosphere occurred within a temperature range from1200°C to 1260°C, whilst the 95%N2/5%H2 atmosphere was carried out within a temperature range from 1220°C to 1300°C. The effects of the sintering atmosphere and temperature on the physical properties, mechanical properties and microstructure were investigated.

Different Thickness

TiN coatings were deposited on AISI M2 high-speed-steel (HSS) substrates by multi-arc ion plating technique. The thickness of substrate was 1.0 mm and five thicknesses of TiN coatings were 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 and 11.0 μm, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used for measuring residual stresses. The stresses along five different directions (Ψ=0°, 20.7°, 30°, 37.8° and 45°) have been measured by recording the peak positions of TiN (220) reflection for each 2θ at different tilt angles Ψ. Residual compressive stresses present in the TiN coatings. Furthermore, the results revealed that the value of the residual stresses in TiN coatings was high. While the coatings thickness changed from 3 to 11 μm, the residual stresses varied from -3.22 to -2.04 GPa, the intrinsic stresses -1.32 to -0.14 GPa, the thermal stresses -1.86 to -1.75 GPa. The residual stresses in TiN coatings showed a nonlinear change. When the coatings thickness was about 8 μm, the residual stresses in TiN coatings reached to the maximum value.
