The electron microscopy investigation of the chromium carbide steel

Abstract

The chromium carbide steel has been obtained by carbides synthesis on hot-pressing. The electron microscope study of the chromium carbide steel showed the presence of two types of carbides: larger with oval shape — Cr₃C₂ and eutectic thin plate carbides Cr₇C₃. It was showed that the more stable structure to be formed so as the properties to be increased the obtained material needs heat treatment with further studing. Full text download
