Using self-made electromagnetic centrifugal casting machine, optical microscopy (OM) and D/ max2200pc X-ray diffraction, the solidification microstructure and phases of as-cast high speed steel(HSS) roll made by sand casting, centrifugal casting and electromagnetic centrifugal casting were investigated. The experiment results show that the phases of as-cast high speed steel (HSS) roll are alloy carbide (such as W 2 C, VC, Cr 7 C 3 ), martensite and austenite. The centrifugal casting and electromagnetic centrifugal casting can apparently improve the solidification structure of HSS roll. With the increase of electromagnetic field intensity (B), the volume fraction of austenite in the HSS solidification structure increased obviously and eutectic ledeburite decreased, the secondary carbide precipitated from the austenite is more fine and distribution of secondary carbide is more even.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
