A σ phase-γ phase orientation relationship observed in solidification of the 7Mo super-austenitic stainless steel
Abstract
In-situ observation and microstructure analysis were combined with the nanoindentation to study the effect of the orientation relationship between the σ and γ phases on the mechanical property of the 7Mo super austenite stainless steel. The results from the HRTEM and the nanoindentation indicate that the semi-coherent interface (111)γ // (001)σ (which is composed of several atomic layers in the absence of element segregation) produced by eutectic transformation, effectively improves the strength of the interface.
