Ultrasound assisted synthesis and characterization of M50 type nanostructured steel
- Univ. of Connecticut, Storrs, CT (United States); and others
A nanophase multicomponent (Fe-Cr-Mo-V-C) type steel was prepared via the ultrasound decomposition of organometallic precursors. The synthesis involved the sonication of a mixture of iron pentacarbonyl, bis(ethylbenzene)chromium, bis(ethyl benzene)molybdenum and vanadium hexacarbonyl in decalin at 0{degrees}C. The as-synthesized powders are amorphous as determined by XRD. The nanopowders were compacted into a dense bulk sample which was then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive analysis x-ray (EDAX). The major peaks in the X-ray spectra of the consolidated sample were assigned to {alpha}-Fe and the line broadening analysis revealed the crystallite size in the sample to be 27 nm. The hardness of the sample was estimated to be 66.3 Rockwell C.
