Study of the Effect of Trace Mg Additions on Carbides in Die Steel H13

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Carbides in annealed steel H13 without magnesium and with a micro-addition of magnesium (0.0010%) are studied. Trace amounts of magnesium strengthen carbide segregation and reduce their size. Carbides phases M7C3, M6 C, and M(C, N) are detected in steel H13, and this agrees with results of thermodynamic calculations.
