Abstract

This work presents results on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the steel composition Fe84.3Cr4.3Mo4.6V2.2C4.6 subjected to preparation conditions typically used for manufacturing of bulk metallic glasses. Thermodynamical aspects and kinetic limitations on the specific solidification process of phase formation, particularly those, which are strongly dominated by diffusion controlled mechanisms, promote the formation of nonequilibrium phases, such as martensite and complex carbide structures already in the as-cast state. This combination of high strength phases yields material with highly desirable properties, such as an engineering compression strength of more than 4000MPa surprisingly combined with a fracture strain of about 12%.
