Abstract

The evolution of sulfide morphology in the Fe- (0.3 to 18) mass% Cr -0.3 mass% S alloys during solidification and its modification by additions of elements such as Mn, Ti, Zr and C have been investigated by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The sulfide morphologies in the Fe-Cr-S ternary alloy are classified under three types: (i) cellwall (ii) fine particle and (iii) globular sulfides. The iron-rich cellwall sulfide is formed in the Fe-(0.3-1) %Cr-0.3 %S alloys. This sulfide morphology changes to the globular type with increasing Cr content and the size of that is more than 51gm. Fine sulfide particles of size smaller than 2 gtm also coexist in the Fe-(0.3-5) %Cr-0.3 %S alloys. Zr or Ti additions change this morphology from the globular type to the rod-like type in the Fe-18 %Cr-0.3 %S alloy, but Mn addition does not have the same effect. The mechanism of the formation of different sulfide morphologies is discussed on the basis of phase diagram information.
