Effect of Phosphorus on Solidification Characteristics in Austenitic Stainless Steels

- Investigation of Factors for Solidification Cracking -

Abstract

The effect of phosphorus on solidification characteristics was investigated in austenitic stainless steel. Partition coefficient and liquids temperature slope of phosphorus was obtained by DTA analysis. The model calculations using these properties were in agreement with experimental results in phosphorus segregation profiles. Estimated influence of phosphorus on BTR was in accordance with previous work.
