Abstract

The equilibrium segregation of boron at grain boundaries and the relation between grain boundary hardening and segregation in B-doped Fe−30 wt%Ni austenitic alloy were studied with the methods of microhardness measurement and Particle Tracking Autoradiography (PTA). It was found that equilibrium segregation of boron at grain boundaries appeared in the alloy as annealed between 650 and 960°C and no segregation of boron appeared above 1050°C. It could be concluded that an excess grain boundary hardening by addition of boron to the alloy was caused by the grain boundary segregation of boron.
