Complex Precipitates of TiN-MC<em><sub>x</sub></em> in GCr15 Bearing Steel
Nitride and carbide are the second phases which play an important role in the performance of bearing steel, and their precipitation behavior is complicated. In this study, TiN-MC<i><sub>x</sub></i>precipitations in GCr15 bearing steels were obtained by non-aqueous electrolysi...

Nitride and carbide are the second phases which play an important role in the performance of bearing steel, and their precipitation behavior is complicated. In this study, TiN-MC<i><sub>x</sub></i>precipitations in GCr15 bearing steels were obtained by non-aqueous electrolysis, and their precipitation mechanisms were studied. TiN is the effective heterogeneous nucleation site for Fe<sub>7</sub>C<sub>3</sub> and Fe<sub>3</sub>C; therefore, MC<i><sub>x</sub></i>can precipitate on the surface of TiN easily. The chemistry component of MC<i><sub>x</sub></i> consists of M<sub>3</sub>C and M<sub>7</sub>C<sub>3</sub> (M = Fe, Cr, Mn) and Cr<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>. TiN-MC<i><sub>x</sub></i> with high TiN volume fraction, TiN forms in early stage of solidification, and MC<i><sub>x</sub></i> precipitates on TiN surface after TiN engulfed by the solidification advancing front. TiN-MC<i><sub>x</sub></i> with low TiN volume fraction, TiN and MC<i><sub>x</sub></i> form in late stage of solidification, TiN can not grow sufficiently and is covered by numerous precipitated MC<i><sub>x</sub></i>particles. |
