Abstract

17NiCrMo7, 19MnCr5 and 27MnCr5 low-alloy case-hardening steels samples have been investigated by SANS (Small-Angle Neutron Scattering), to achieve data on bulk nanoscale structure characterisation and complementary analytical and crystallographic information. The reported results are related in particular to the size distribution of nanosized pores which can help to comprehend the structural basis for the physico-chemical properties and thus to improve quality and durability of the considered materials. A complementary PIXE investigation has been also carried out, with the aim of a non-destructive assessment of the elemental composition of the considered samples.
