Abstract
The influence of the chromium content and of the volume fraction of primary carbides on the thermal oxidation behaviour of spin cast high speed steels and semi-high speed steels used for the production of hot mill rolls was studied at 700°C. Oxidation nucleates at the carbide–matrix interface and carbides have a higher oxidation resistance than the matrix. Moreover carbides dissolve a higher amount of chromium than the matrix. As a consequence of these effects, the oxidation rate of these steels decreases by increasing the chromium content of the matrix and by decreasing the carbide volume fraction.
