Understanding the Solidification and Refinement of Steels
Abstract
This purpose of this project is to continue to develop our understanding of solidification based grain refinement in steels and the solidification of steels in general. This project will focus on rare earth and titanium based grain refining materials. Cooling curve thermal analysis will be conducted to determine how the presence of rare earth or titanium containing inclusions change the solidification path of 1030, 4130, and HY80 steels. This analysis will provide a better background on how these alloys solidify and how inclusions act as nuclei for steels. This work will enable the erection of stronger and more ductile steels.
