Abstract

The effects of second phase particles, e.g. M 23C 6, MC and M(C, N) carbides on the grain growth phenomenon of FeNiCr alloys have been determined. Various theoretical models on grain coarsening have been compared. The grain size at all stages of grain coarsening was dependent on the undissolved carbide particle size ( r), the volume fraction ( f), and the nature of the carbides. The nature of M 23C 6 carbides varied, since Fe, Ni and Mo entered the M 23C 6 unit cell; and complex carbides such as (Cr 15Fe 4Ni 2Mo 2)C 6 were formed. Gladman's equation was verified for predicting the observed grain size values to a significant degree, and other models were less successful.
