アロイ800Hの凝固特性とTiC生成挙動

抄録

It is known that the size distribution of inclusions in steels have a significant effect on material properties. The solidification characteristics and TiC formation behavior of alloy 800H were evaluated both by experiment and simulation in this work. The relationship between dendrite arm spacing and the cooling rate was estimated. TiC particles were observed at the interdendritic region. The size distribution of TiC particles was affected by solidification cooling rate. Solidification analysis using the MPF (Multi-Phase Field) method revealed that TiC formation begins at a solid fraction of 0.79, and solidification accelerates due to TiC formation. It was thought that TiC particles generated in the latter part of solidification aggregate and coalesce without engulfment by the solidified shell. The size distribution of TiC particles was also affected by heat treatment after solidification.
