Promoting in situ formation of core‐shell structured carbides in high‐Cr cast irons by boron addition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract M 7 C 3 carbide is an important reinforcing phase in high‐Cr cast irons, ferrous alloys, metal‐matrix composites, and hardfacing overlays. However, the mismatch at the carbide/matrix interface due to the differences in structure and mechanical strength between the carbide and metallic matrix may lower the resistance of the material to mechanical attack, such as wear, corresponding to increased risk of interfacial failure or the role of the interfacial mismatch as a stress raiser for crack initiation. Recent studies on high‐Cr cast irons (HCCI; Fe‐45%Cr‐%C series) show that core(M 7 C 3 )‐shell(M 23 C 6 ) structured carbides (CSSCs) help minimize the misfit stress at the interface between carbide and matrix, thus enhancing their resistance to wear. However, such core‐shell structured carbide does not always form. It is of importance to understand the mechanism responsible for the formation of CSSC for maximized benefits. In this study, we conducted thermodynamic analysis to investigate the conditions for in situ forming CSSCs in HCCIs and determine the probability of generating CSSCs through alloying elements. Both thermodynamic analysis and first‐principles calculations demonstrate that the core‐shell structured carbide can be in situ formed in HCCIs by alloying with elements such as boron, which increases the stability of M 23 C 6 with lowered energy. Relevant experiments were performed to verify the theoretical analysis and prediction.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
