Study of the High Energy Milling Effect on Composite Alloy of EUROFER97 Steel Reinforced with Niobium Carbide

Article Preview

Abstract:

Several kinds of alloys Ni-based, Fe-based and Al-based oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) and carbide dispersion strengthened (CDS) have been produced through mechanical alloying. Precipitation-strengthened or dispersion-strengthened steels are a kind of high strengthened steel using fine precipitation or dispersion of carbides. This work present a study of EUROFER97 steel powder reinforced with 3%wt of niobium carbide. The starting materials were wet-milled in a high-energy planetary ball mill for several times up to 5 hours. The ratio of ball to powder weight was 15:1. The milled powders were characterized by SEM, XRD, EDX and laser scattering. The results are presented on base of a microstructure analysis of composite particles of steel-carbide as a function of milling time.
