Understanding carbonitride behavior
I’m mapping out the density of carbonitride inclusions in vacuum induction melted steel. I’m curious if they float to the top, causing anomalies, and if sampling the top 300 mm is representative.
Unpacking carbides and nitrides
I’m looking into the density of carbides and nitrides, noting that nitrides are often lighter and might form gas bubbles, while carbides typically remain heavy inclusions and don’t float easily.
Chronicle of carbonitrides
It's clear that carbonitrides in high temperature alloys vary widely in density, from 4 g/cm3 to 14 g/cm3, and understanding their behavior during melting is crucial for alloy performance.
Mapping carbonitride densities
Listing typical densities for various carbonitrides shows a wide range, with titanium nitrides and niobium nitride being notably lighter than metal alloys like tantalum carbide and tungsten carbide.
Tracking Ti carbonitride
OK, let's think through Ti carbonitride's density: it’s definitely lighter than steel, which might lead to floating if undisturbed. Sampling should ideally go beyond the top 300 mm to ensure representative results.
Sampling strategies
I'm thinking about how heavier or lighter nitrides might float. For vacuum induction melting, thorough mixing ensures top-to-bottom homogeneity, so samples should reflect well-mixed regions for accurate composition.
Assessing carbonitride behavior
Carbonitride density in superalloys shows a 5 to 10 g/cm3 range. They don't concentrate excessively at the top due to mixing, so deeper or mixed-region sampling is recommended for accuracy.
