Correlation Between Microstructure and Fracture Behavior in Thick HARDOX 450 Wear-Resistant Steel With TiN Inclusions
This work investigates the correlation between TiN inclusions and microstructural properties of HARDOX 450 steel using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electron backscattered diffractometer (EBSD) methods. Some amount of microsi...

| description | This work investigates the correlation between TiN inclusions and microstructural properties of HARDOX 450 steel using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electron backscattered diffractometer (EBSD) methods. Some amount of microsized TiN inclusions were formed in the temperature range of the solid–liquid zone; however, they exhibited fracture features of deep dimples rather than a cleavage plane, which is closely related to the ability of the microstructure to arrest cracks. Upon tensile loading, a single microcrack first appeared inside the microsized TiN inclusions, and then, multiple microcracks formed, parts of which widened in the direction of tensile stress. A schematic mechanism map was plotted to reveal the propagation behavior and fracture mechanism of the microcracks in the TiN inclusions. |
