Steel powders containing (2.28, 2.65) %C-(13.23, 17.32) %Mo-3.9%Cr-7%W-3.5%V-9.4%Co and (3.12, 3.61) %C-(12.69, 12.31) %Cr-1.0%Mo have been produced by water-atomization. Fully densified steel bars have also been made by sintering in a vacuum, hot-extrusion and hot-forging. Microstructures and mechanical properties of the dense steels have been investigated as a function of heat treatment.
In the high-carbon and high-molybdenum steels, fine nodules of M6C (Mo, W-rich) type carbide and fine rods of M2C (Mo-rich) type carbids are uniformly distributed. It is also observed that fine nodules of M7 C3 (Cr-rich) type carbides are uniformly distributed in the high-carbon and high-chromium steels. High hardness is easily obtainable by heat treatment. Grinding is also easy because of the uniform distribution of the fine carbides. However, transverse rupture strength and notch toughness are relatively low. Wear resistance of the steels is improved by increasing the diameters of the unsoluble carbides. Strength and toughness may be improved by sufficient reducing of the oxygen contents of the dense steels.
