Evolution of NbC from nucleation and precipitation to growth and coarsening in Nb-microalloyed high-carbon martensitic steel
This study focuses on the dynamic evolution of NbC from nucleation and precipitation to coarsening in synergy with Mo. The results show that carbon diffusion drives the precipitation of Nb-C clusters from the supersaturated austenite, forming NbC precipitates smaller than 5 nm. As the NbC particles grow to ∼200 nm, Mo atoms gradually substitute Nb sites via diffusion, resulting in compositionally graded (Nb,Mo)C complex carbides, with Mo content increasing monotonically with particle size. Initially, the (Nb,Mo)C particles exhibit a near-spherical morphology. In the late stage of coarsening (>500 nm), they gradually transform into irregular polyhedral shapes, accompanied by a decrease in proportion of Mo content.
