Abstract

- The magnetic scattering of iron carbides in low-alloy tool steel was investigated ex-situ by polarized small angle neutron scattering measurements after tempering the steel at 550 °C and 600 °C. Magnetic features could be detected in the as-quenched sample resulting in a negative interference term, believed to be either θ-Fe3C, η-Fe2C, or ε-Fe2-3C. During tempering the evolution of cementite could be studied by the variation of the interference term and in γ-ratio, which is the ratio of the magnetic to nuclear scattering length density contrast. From scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and atom probe tomography, it is evident that cementite (θ-Fe3C) is present directly when reaching the tempering temperature of either 550 °C or 600 °C. At longer tempering times, cementite gets enriched with substitutional elements like chromium and manganese, forming an enriched shell on the cementite particles. STEM and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry show that the chemical composition of small cementite particles approaches that of Cr-rich M7C3 carbides after 24 h at 600 °C. It is also seen that small non-magnetic particles precipitate during tempering and these correspond well with molybdenum and vanadium-rich carbides.
