Effect of inverse peritectic reaction on microstructural spheroidization in semi-solid state

Effects of predeformation and semi-solid processing on microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr–V–Mo steel

“…Both methods involve the partial melting of the recrystallized metal slurry (Atkinson and Rassili, 2010 slurries has been investigated and verified by Meng et al (2012). Besides these methods, the inverse peritectic induced spheroidization of some steel can lead to spheroidization as reported by Li et al (2008).…”

A review of the semi-solid processing of steel

“…Hallstedt et al [31] have also used thermodynamic prediction, suggesting that important criteria are the slope at 50% liquid and the temperature ranges between 40% liquid and 60% for thixocasting and 20% and 40% for thixoforging. Li et al [32] have identified how the inverse peritectic reaction can lead to spheroidisation in stainless steels in the semi-solid state. They argue that spheroidisation will always occur in an alloy with a peritectic reaction independent of the morphology in the solid state.…”

Microstructural evolution during partial melting and semisolid forming behaviors of two hot-rolled Cr–V–Mo tool steels

“…In addition to these treatment parameters, the alloying element content is another important factor affecting the microstructural evolution during semisolid treatment. According to Li et al (2008), the microstructural evolution of different ferrous alloys during semisolid treatment can be classified on the basis of their chemical compositions. It is necessary to investigate the effect of the alloying element content on the characteristics of ferrous alloys in the semisolid state.…”
