Analysis of a Rapidly Solidified High-Phosphorus Austenitic Steel Containing an Amorphous Phase.

Abstract

Rapid solidification of a high-phosphorus austenitic steel produces a fine cellular solidification structure containing an amorphous phase at the cell walls. The amorphous phase, which is stable to approx. 500 C, is enriched in phosphorus and chromium, but contains significantly less phosphorus than conventional glass-forming alloys. Hot consolidation of powders produces a chemically-uniform metastable austenite which can be effectively precipitation hardened by phospho-carbides. (Author)
