Duplex steels combine the advantages of ferritic and austenitic steels, preferably with an optimal proportion of austenite and ferrite. The effect of laser beam power in direct laser deposition on this proportion of microstructure constituents was studied. The proportion also has an impact on mechanical and corrosion properties, which are essential for this type of steel. Duplex steels are often used in corrosive environments and their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance depend on the proportion of austenite and ferrite. Direct laser deposition (DED) was used for making samples. DED operates on the principle of laser melting of a powder which is carried by the shielding gas into a nozzle. This technology can be used as an additive manufacturing process as well as for surface repairs and modification of components. The samples in this experimental study were printed using several different fixed outputs and the same intervals. One sample was printed using the machine’s automatic mode. Microstructural analysis was performed using EBSD, EDS and light microscopy. The proportion of austenite and ferrite was measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD analysis). The differences in the proportion of ferrite and austenite were minimal, on the order of several percentage points.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82211863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most cases, the MnS inclusions show strip morphology after rolling, which significantly affects the steel quality. Usually, the MnS inclusion with a spherical morphology is the best morphology for the steel quality. In the present work, tellurium was applied to 38MnVS6 micro-alloyed steel to control the MnS inclusion. Trace tellurium was added into 38MnVS6 steel and the effect of Te on the morphology, composition, size and distribution of MnS inclusions were investigated. Experimental results show that with the increase of Te content, the equivalent diameter and the aspect ratio of inclusion decrease strikingly, and the number of inclusions with small aspect ratio increases. The inclusions are dissociated and spherized. The SEM-EDS analysis indicates that the trace Te mainly dissolves in MnS inclusion. Once the MnS is saturated with Te, MnTe starts to generate and wraps MnS. The critical Te/S value for the formation of MnTe in the 38MnV6 steel is determined to be approximately 0.075. With the increase of Te/S ratio, the aspect ratio of MnS inclusion decreases and gradually reaches a constant level. The Te/S value in the 38MnVS6 steel corresponding to the change of aspect ratio from decreasing to constant ranges from 0.096 to 0.255. This is most likely to be caused by the saturation of Te in the MnS inclusion. After adding Te in the steel, rod-like MnS inclusion is modified to small inclusion and the smaller the MnS inclusion, the lower the aspect ratio.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":"20 1","pages":"615"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87131548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The addition of aluminum large quantity to steel during steelmaking is an especially difficult task, because of the low density and melting temperature of aluminum. A complex Al-Mn-Fe master alloy with more high density and melting temperature then aluminum may be proposed as an alternative for metal aluminum at precise steel alloying. Such master alloy also may be useful for preparing traditional cast aluminum alloys and special creep-resistant Al-based alloys. In this investigation, the master alloy was prepared via electron-beam casting technology (EBCT) with using cheap raw materials like ferromanganese and aluminum scrap. It was established there is a possibility to obtain an alloy with a high content of main components and low content of carbon due to the process peculiarities.

Computer models took into account the distribution of residual stresses formed at the preliminary stage of wire drawing. During the simulation, the effect of MTT on the internal stresses of the wires was studied: residual stresses after the drawing process and additional stresses after the stranding. All studied methods demonstrated a positive effect not only from the point of eliminating internal stresses, but also from the point of view of their favorable redistribution. The reduction of PSC strand in a monolith tool with strain degree 1-3% allows to minimize tensile stresses on the surface of the wires and save compressive stresses in the center of the wires. The straightening by a group of 5 rolls made it possible to reduce the tension of outer wires twice. The MTT application, combining the effects of various physical nature, made it possible to control over a wide range the redistribution of residual stresses in the wires after high strain degrees and the additional stresses created during the stranding, which affect the preservation of the geometric parameters of the PSC strand. The study showed that to eliminate longitudinal residual stresses, the magnitude of the tension in the MTT is the most important parameter. Therefore, with a minimum value of tension, the residual stresses are not redistributed either in the central or in the surface layers, regardless of the temperature of the MTT. However, with tension above 70 kN and a temperature of 380-400°C, the residual stresses in the center and on the surface of the wires are balanced or almost completely eliminated.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":"310 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79956808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is focused on the possibility of using the Pr3Co0.6Cu0.4Hx composition as the addition to the powder mixture for manufacturing Nd-Fe-B magnets and on the processes occurred during hydrogen treatment of the addition. The base alloy having the composition Nd-24.0, Pr-6.5, Dy-0.5, B-1.0, Al0.2, Fe-balance was prepared by strip-casting and subjected to hydrogen decrepitation at 270 °C for 1 h. The Pr3Co0.6Cu0.4 alloy was prepared by arc melting in an argon atmosphere and subjected to homogenizing annealing at 600 °C for 90 h and subsequent hydrogenation under the conditions used for the strip-cast alloy.
