Solidification and Boride Characteristics of Boron-Containing Austenitic Stainless Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Differential scanning calorimetry was used to study melt and solidification and microstructure of austenitic stainless steels containing boron. The liquidus and solidus temperatures decreased because of the boron content, and boron inhibited the formation of δ-Fe. A large content of eutectic boride structure was detected when the boron content was higher. The boride was M2B, and the crystal structure was orthorhombic. The crystal structure and elemental composition of M2B were investigated in detail by SEM-EDS and XRD analysis.
