Abstract

Aluminum is the key ingredient in low-density steels. It leads to the formation of δ-ferrite in a large fraction. In order to study the influence, two different experimental approaches were devised. In a first of its kind, the sample was arc melted in an argon atmosphere. Later, the same alloy composition was ball milled and sintered at 1000 °C by avoiding liquid to δ-ferrite in the system. In the current study, the comparative analysis led by DICTRA simulation indicates that kappa (κ) carbide has difficulty forming in the present alloy system when δ-ferrite is already available, particularly during solidification casting.
