Abstract
It has been shown that particles of M 6C in Cr–Mo–V low alloy steels can influence phosphorus grain boundary segregation in a similar manner to Laves phase particles in 12CrMoV steel. The influence of these particles arises from their ability to dissolve non- metallic elements such as phosphorus and silicon. As phosphorus is progressively segregated to the grain boundaries during prolonged ageing, the precipitation of M 6C particles leads to an anomalous decrease in the phosphorus grain boundary concentration as the ageing time is extended. This phenomenon originally observed for the Laves phase in long-term aged 12CrMoV steel at temperatures of 753, 773, and 803 K has now been observed for M 6C carbide in a 2.5Cr–0.4Mo–0.25V low alloy steel aged at 853 K.
