The morphology and distribution of in-situ VC ceramics in cast high speed steel with about 5-10wt.% vanadium and 1.7-3.2wt.% carbon were studied. The results show that the elementary morphology of in-situ VC ceramics has six kinds: spherical, lumpy, flower shaped, strip, short rod shaped, and vermicular. The in-situ VC in high-speed steel has three kinds of distributions: grain boundary, chrysanthemum-like and homogeneous distributions, depending on the chemical composition of high-speed steel. The in-situ VC ceramics grows up along grain boundaries if the high-speed steel is hypoeutectic, leading to grain boundary distribution of VC ceramics. On the contrary, it distributes homogeneously when the high-speed steel is hypereutectic. Whereas, the in-situ VC ceramics takes on chrysanthemum distribution if the high speed steel is just eutectic. Modification can improve the morphology of primary VC ceramics, but has not obvious effect on the morphology of eutectic VC.

In this paper, we investigate the influence of temperature on the nickel grain boundary equilibrium segregation of sulfur and the resulting intergranular fracturing susceptibility. Auger electron spectroscopy has been used to study equilibrium segregation of sulfur to the grain boundaries of a metallic nickel, with a mass bulk content of 3.6[Formula: see text]ppm in sulfur. Samples were first annealed at adequate temperatures for sufficiently large equilibrium time, and then quenched in water at room temperature. The analysis carried out shows a significant increase of sulfur concentration in the grain boundary with decreasing temperature. However, the sulfur content in the grain boundary shows a drastic shrink at 700[Formula: see text]C. This can be interpreted by the formation of an aggregate sulfide compound in the area of the grain boundaries. At 650[Formula: see text]C, in situ brittle fracture becomes unworkable and only intragranular fractures are observed. Using the results obtained through the investigation of the grain boundaries by Auger spectroscopy, the standard segregation energy is estimated as [Formula: see text].

ABSTRACTX-ray reflectivity techniques have been used to characterize the surfaces of 0.4µm thick Au films epitaxially grown on single-crystals of NaCl. Measurements of both the specular and non-specular reflectivity suggest that the Au surface is very rough. The nonspecular reflectivity provides valuable information about the correlation of the heights at different points on the surface. The first in situ reflectivity study of the formation and destruction of a grain boundary shows direct evidence for the existence of diffuse scattering from the grain boundary. Measurements of several [0011 twist grain boundaries suggest that the roughness and texture of an interface depends upon the geometrical orientation of the surrounding substrates.

This study presents in-situ EBSP observations of recrystallization in commercial purity aluminum sheets with different concentrations of solutes and different states of precipitation. The in-situ observations demonstrate clearly the behaviors of the nucleation and growth of recrystallized grains, and the movements of grain boundaries at an early stage of recrystallization. The high mobility of grain boundaries neighboring the deformed matrix was generally observed presumably due to strain-induced grain boundaries migration. The grain boundary motion was also found to strongly depend to the solute content level. These in-situ observations provide important evidence to show that the behaviors of grain boundary motion at an early stage of recrystallization leads to the grain size distribution and the curvature of grain boundaries after the primary recrystallization.

As withstanding very high loads, thermal cycling leading to thermal fatigue, and severe environmental in the steel industry, rolls with long service life are specially required. High speed steel with high vanadium content is a newly-developed wear-resistance material that has been studied and used in some countries for making steel rolls. As a surface treatment technology, laser cladding can fabricate coating to improve the wear resistance of substrate. In this paper, the substrates for laser cladding were nodular cast iron rolls, Nd: YAG solid pulsed laser was used to explore the feasibility of preparation high vanadium high speed steel (HVHSS) coatings. The Nd: YAG laser cladding results that the coated layers combined metallurgically with the substrate with a lot of microcracks. The average microhardness up to 650 HV is more than 2 times as high as that of the substrate. After laser remelting, a fully dense and crack free HVHHS coating with an excellent metallurgical bonding was deposited. The presence of VC in the coating mainly improves the microhardness of coating up to about 650 HV.

Tool-life tests are reported which show the relationship between the alloy composition of high-speed steel twist drills and performance. Tool-life is shown to depend primarily on the composition of the matrix consisting of tempered martensite and precipitated secondary carbides. The longest tool-life was obtained from alloys with high vanadium content and low tungsten or molybdenum content. This observation is consistent with the dispersion characteristics of vanadium carbide which precipitate during tempering.
