Control of Heat-Resistant Steel Carburized Layer Structure. Part II

  • THERMOCHEMICAL TREATMENT
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

In the first part of the article, published in the previous issue of this journal, on the basis of studying features of the process a physical and mathematical model is presented of carbide formation during heat-resistant steel vacuum carburizing based on the example of VKS-5. In the second part of this article on the basis of analyzing the calculation model physical features are presented for formation of cementite type carbide phase taking account of steel VKS-5 alloying with chromium and nickel, and also temperature. Simultaneously, features of special molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium and niobium carbide formation are considered. The expediency of increasing chromium content in a new generation of heat-resistant steels alloyed with nickel is substantiated.
