Abstract It is shown that chromium distribution in the metal base of high-chromium cast irons depends on manganese content. According to the X-ray micro-spectral analysis data with the increase of manganese content from 0.72 to 6.49% chromium content decreased in the near-carbide zones. At the same time chromium content in carbides increased. This process obtained particularly strong development inside eutectic colonies of carbides. As a result of it, when total chromium content in the alloy has been 23%, its concentration in the local zones was 12,3%, thus the necessary level of corrosion resistance has not been provided. The minimal chromium content has to amount 23.2%, at 6.49% Mn and 2.2...2.5% C in order to provide corrosion resistance of high-chromium cast irons

Abstract The ferritic alloys, particularly AISI Type 446 steel with its high chromium content, have desirable properties of corrosion resistance, low raw material cost, and resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC); yet they are not widely used in construction work because of the damaging effects of high temperature exposures (such as welding) on their corrosion resistance and ductility. This work describes the causes for their loss of corrosion resistance and ductility, and defines changes in composition and heat treatment that would improve their material properties.

In this work, the effects of 1 wt.% tungsten addition and variation in tempering times on the microstructure and hardness of nominal 28 wt.%Cr high chromium irons were investigated. As-cast samples were destabilised at 1050 °C for 4 hours and then hardened by air cooling. Tempering after destabilisation was carried out at 450 °C for 2, 4 and 6 hours followed by air cooling. X-ray diffractometry, light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the microstructures of the irons. The results show that the as-cast microstructure of the iron without W addition consisted of primary austenite dendrites with eutectic M7C3 and eutectic austenite partially transformed to martensite. The iron with 1 wt.%W addition contained primary M7C3 and eutectic M7C3 in an austenite matrix. Destabilisation treatment of the austenite matrix in both irons allowed precipitation of secondary carbides and transformation to martensite during air cooling. Phase transformation of eutectic M7C3 was also found in the iron with W addition. The formation of primary M7C3 in the 1 wt.%W iron increased the as-cast macro-hardness from 500 (no W) to 576 HV30. Destabilisation increased the macro-hardness up to 736 (no W) and 780 HV30 (1 wt.%W) since secondary carbide precipitation allowed austenite to transform to essentially martensitic matrices. At longer tempering times, the macro-hardness further increased up to about 820 HV30.

AbstractHigh chromium white cast irons are used in the mineral processing industry as grinding balls and grinding mill liner plates. The effect of retained austenite on the field performance of these irons is not clearly understood, but it is believed that control of the retained austenite level is essential in optimizing field behavior. Improved analysis techniques are required to provide this control.This paper presents an equal area pole figure data collection procedure for determining retained austenite in textured material in which few diffracted peaks are available for analysis. As analysis techniques improve, the significance of retained austenite in high chromium white cast irons can be better evaluated.

Abstract Deloro Stellite 20 is a Co-Cr-W-C alloy. It is the most abrasion resistant standard cobalt based alloy. Its high chromium content ensures good general corrosion resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance, while the increased tungsten level provides superior high-temperature properties as compared to Stellite 6 or 12. While it has low shock resistance, it is often the only answer for some applications such as slurry pumps or chemical resistant parts. It is typically used up to a temperature of about 600 °C (1110 °F), depending on the application. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance. Filing Code: Co-135.

In this study, simulation or computation of the phase diagrams for specific alloys of the high-Cr white cast irons and the multi-component white cast irons was performed by employing Thermo Calc software package and appropriate thermodynamics modules. The phase diagrams constructed were verified by thermal analysis (DSC), optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Both the obtained phase transition points via DSC and the microstructures observed by optical microscopy and XRD analysis match well with the phase diagrams.
