Abstract

The chemical composition, morphology, size and amount of MC-type primary carbonitrides were analyzed in H13 steel, including long strip (Vx,Mo1−x)(Cy,N1−y) and small square (Tix,V1−x)(Cy,N1−y). Statistical results showed that x value in (Tix,V1−x)(Cy,N1−y) was enhanced in correlation with Ti content in steel, which was beneficial to (Tix,V1−x)(Cy,N1−y) precipitation on the basis of thermodynamics. The amount of total MC primary carbonitrides was increased in the samples, of which the square ones evidently increased while strip ones first increased and then declined as Ti content increased. It was found that (Tix,V1−x)(Cy,N1−y) could act as the heterogeneous nucleation core of the outer layer (Vx,Mo1−x)(Cy,N1−y), forming multilayer carbonitrides. Increasing (Tix,V1−x)(Cy,N1−y) would promote the formation of complex strip carbonitrides in sample #2, but would inhibit the precipitation of strip (Vx,Mo1−x)(Cy,N1−y) precipitates in sample #3 because of much easier combination with V and N for (Tix,V1−x)(Cy,N1−y). The average size of both square and strip precipitates gradually decreased as Ti rose in the samples. It was speculated that the effect of (Tix,V1−x)(Cy,N1−y) promoting the complex multilayer carbonitrides and inhibiting (Vx,Mo1−x)(Cy,N1−y) precipitation as Ti changed would have a relationship with characteristics change in MC carbonitrides.
