What happened to WC particles is a key to understand it role in the strengthening mechanism during LPBF. This study investigated the whereabout of WC powders when in-situ added to IN625 alloys and its effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the samples fabricated by LPBF. It was found that there are basically three whereabouts of WC: decomposed products of C and W₂C, remained WC, and dissolved WC. The former significantly promotes nanoprecipitation along the solidification cellular boundaries, which is coincident with dislocation walls. The addition of WC refined the size of solidification cells and grains, and weaken the columnar morphology of the grain as well. The yield strength for the samples when added 5% and 10% WC reaches 763.2 MPa and 1038.7 MPa, respectively. WC particles play an indirect role in improving strength via decomposition of WC and promoting nano-precipitate along cellular boundaries. Among the various strengthening mechanisms, nano-precipitation becomes predominant as WC increase, which accounts for 41.6% of the increment in yield strength.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":703,"journal":{"name":"Metals and Materials International","volume":"31 8","pages":"2500 - 2511"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145166194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, neutron diffraction was employed along with conventional microstructural characterization to investigate the microstructural and strain behaviors of reverted and deformed austenites in specimens rolled under cryogenic temperature (CRT) and room temperature (RT) and annealed at various temperatures, where different reversion mechanisms occur. After austenite reversion annealing, the yield strength was superior to that of the as-received specimens, regardless of the rolling conditions. The CRT specimens showed high strengths owing to grain refinement. They were composed of strain-induced martensite, leading to the formation of fine reverted austenite. The RT specimens consisted mostly of deformed austenite, resulting in coarse austenite. For the annealing at 590 °C, the reverted austenite grew under strain induced by the martensite. At 900 °C, recrystallization occurred during the heating process, with the fine grains growing preferentially, decreasing the yield strength. At 750 °C, reverted austenite formed through both the diffusional and diffusionless mechanisms. The diffusionally reverted austenite grew without strain, forming abnormally coarse grains, whereas the diffusionless reverted austenite produced recrystallized fine grains. Neutron diffraction analysis revealed that the annealed CRT specimens underwent full recrystallization and the RT specimens underwent incomplete recrystallization, indicating that the deformed austenite recrystallized more slowly than the diffusionless reverted austenite. Superior yield strength and elongation were achieved by annealing at the CRT for 1 min owing to the grain refinement combined with diffusional reverted austenite and diffusionless reverted austenite.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":703,"journal":{"name":"Metals and Materials International","volume":"31 8","pages":"2279 - 2296"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145164830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lowering the quenching stop temperature (QT) from 300 °C to 190 °C after intercritical annealing increased the volume fraction of tempered martensite (TM), decreased that of bainite, and maintains that of ferrite and retained austenite constant in the final microstructure. 300 °C was Ms temperature, thus, QT 300 °C sample consisted of negligible TM and 36% bainite. So, as the QT was reduced to 190 °C, the TM phase was integrated into the bainite up to 13.8%. The yield strength (YS), tensile strength (TS), and hole expansion ratio (HER) of QT 300 °C steel were inferior compared to that of QT 190 °C steel; however, the total elongation was improved by 2.9% for QT 300 °C steel. The elevated YS and TS of the QT 190 °C steel were attributed to the increased micro hardness caused by the increased TM fraction. Furthermore, the high HER of the QT 190 °C steel was elucidated by the reduced micro void formation compared to the QT 300 °C steel under the same reduction ratio. That was because QT 300 °C steel, comprised mainly of bainite, has a higher fraction of blocky retained austenite that, when subjected to deformation, transforms into mechanically induced blocky martensite, acting as a significant source of micro voids. Finally, enhanced total elongation in QT 300 °C steel was attributed to more stable retained austenite during deformation compared to the QT 190 °C steel.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":703,"journal":{"name":"Metals and Materials International","volume":"31 8","pages":"2253 - 2265"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145164831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
