Abstract
Ultra-high strength steels are widely used in various industries to meet the demands of lightweight and safe infrastructure, but the ingot size limits its application. Here we develop a highly homogenous 200 kg scale large-size ingot for high Co-Ni secondary hardening steels with 2.3 GPa tensile strength, 1.9 GPa yield strength and 10.3 % elongation by composite shear flow casting technology based on numerical simulation analysis. Numerical results fit well with experimental date and the columnar crystal area of ingot is successively diminished and replaced by equiaxed structures. The excellent mechanical property was attributed to the synergy benefits of high density M2C carbides dispersed in the tempered martensitic matrix with high dislocation density.
