Abstract
The precipitation behavior of MnS after solidification was analyzed with low-carbon Fe−Si alloys. This system was chosen since it has a wide temperature range for the δ/γ transformation. Experimental results showed that the amount of MnS precipitates increased drastically between 1300°C and 1100°C, and MnS precipitates were segregated almost entirely in the δ phase. This result was interpreted quantitatively by a mathematical model, taking into account the diffusion and the redistribution of solute elements and also the solubility product limit of Mn and S in both phases. Mathematical analysis shows that the precipitation of MnS starts first in the γ phase, but its growth will be very limited because of slow diffusion of Mn in the γ phase. The effects of some factors such as cooling rate and Si content of alloys on the rate of precipitation were discussed, and the degree of contributions of diffusion of Mn and the redistribution of S were estimated.
