Evolution of Globular Microstructures during Direct Partial Re-Melting Experiment of AISI D2 Tool Steel

Abstract:

Steel is a mostly challenging metal to semisolid process because of the high temperatures implicated and the prospective for surface oxidation. Slurry processing experiment was performed with AISI D2 cold work tool steel to identify the evolution of globular microstructures via Direct Partial Re-Melting Method (DPRM). Samples were heated in an argon atmosphere up to 1330°C which corresponded to about 38% of liquid fraction and held for 5 minutes. The typical microstructure after DPRM consists of globular grains (average grain size about 50μm) while the remaining interspaces were filled by precipitated eutectic carbides on the grain boundaries and lamellar network. Based on the requirements of thixoformability, the current work confirms the suitability of the AISI D2 cold work tool steel as a candidate material for semi-solid forming.
