Problems of phase identification in high-nitrogen chromium-manganese cast steel

An attempt has been made to offer an interpretation of the microstructure of chromium-manganese cast Steel after adding to this steel a large amount of nitrogen as an alloying element. Nitrogen was added to the cast steel by two methods: the first method consisted in adding anitrided ferromanganese, the second method in remelting the nitrogen-free alloy under the atmosphere of nitrogen maintaining high N2 pressure above the metal melt (3,5 MPa). Some important differences in the microstructure of the examined cast Steel have been observed, depending on how the nitrogen was introduced to the alloy. When melting was carried out under the atmospheric pressure adding the nitrided ferroalloys, the matrix was composed of nitrided austenite, and numerous nitrides (carbonitrides) were forming a well-developed network along the grain boundaries. Melting of alloy under the high pressure of nitrogen enables obtaining much higher concentration of this element in metal. The network of precipitates along the grain boundaries is observed to exist no longer, and the lamellar structure occupies now practically the entire metal volume. When alloys are melted in the air, only small fragments of the lamellar structure, forming the, so called, “Chinese script” and local clusters are present. At this stage of the research, an attempt has been made to identify the phases in chromium-manganese cast Steel using a transmission electron microscope. The conducted studies partly confirmed the conclusions resulting from the examinations carried out previously under the optical microscope. So far, however, no consistent answer has been found to the question of what type are the precipitates present in the structure of the examined alloy. Attempts at further interpretation of the obtained results will be taken at the next stage of the work with attention focussed on the precipitates formed during the process of solidification of the examined chromium-manganese cast steel with an addition of nitrogen.
