The higher level of vacuum, the lower temperature required for reduction. Thermodynamic calculation pointed out that at a vacuum pressure of 600 Pa, the reduction temperature could be as low as 1140 °C. Experiment results indicated that at although reduction could be done at 1150 °C, the process efficiency was low, generally below 20%. Process efficiency enhanced as temperature increase and reaches the highest value of 85,8% at 1250 °C (25 wt.% ferrosilicon). The amount of ferrosilicon used also has influenced the process efficiency.

However, the heat treatment and nitriding process can drastically reduce the corrosion resistance of this stainless steel. This article focuses on investigating the influence of steel substrate and gas nitriding efficiency at two temperatures of 520 oC and 550 oC on some properties of CrN coating. The experiments were carried out to evaluate the surface hardness, microstructure and phase composition of nitrided layers. The coating adhesion and load capacity of the coating were performed according to VDI 3198 standard. Electrochemical testing was performed in a solution of 3.5% NaCl and then using the Tafel method to determine the corrosion current and corrosion potential. The thickness of CrN and CrN/CrN coating was 1.6 μm and 3 μm, respectively. The study showed that the corrosion resistance of coatings fabricated through duplex technology was affected not only by the normal defects but also by the porosity on the nitrided surface. The corrosion resistance of multilayer duplex coating was improved compare with mono-layer duplex coating due to its ability to cover and reduce pores and pitting defects.","PeriodicalId":44511,"journal":{"name":"Acta Metallurgica Slovaca","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45649726","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}

Maraging steel is a special class of Fe-Ni alloys, typically used in the aerospace and tooling sectors due to their good combination of mechanical strength and toughness. This work analyses the heat treatment effect on the microstructure and hardness value of 300-grade maraging steel manufactured by the L-PBF process. The considered heat treatment consists of a solution annealing treatment followed by quenching and ageing hardening treatment. The effect of ageing temperature is reported, in a wide temperature range. Results show that solution annealing treatment fully dissolves the solidification structure caused by the L-PBF process. Moreover, the ageing hardening treatment has a significant impact on the hardness, hence on strength, of L-PBF maraging steel. The optimal ageing conditions for the L-PBF maraging steel are identified and reported: in particular, results show that the hardness of 583 HV is achieved following ageing treatment at 490 °C for 6 hours. A higher treatment temperature leads to over-ageing resulting in a decrease of hardness. Conversely, an excessive ageing time does not seem to affect the hardness value, for the ageing temperature of 490 °C.","PeriodicalId":44511,"journal":{"name":"Acta Metallurgica Slovaca","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48765968","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 main innovation is in the increased hardenability following the higher Cr content with respect to the more common 5% Cr steel allowing to lower the content of other chemical elements aimed to achieve the target mechanical properties. Following to the high intrinsic hardenability of such steel based on the Cr content a poor effect of prior austenite grain size should be expected after quenching. Aim of this work is to evaluate such effect and to analyse the dependence of mechanical properties on it.","PeriodicalId":44511,"journal":{"name":"Acta Metallurgica Slovaca","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43472495","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}
