12% ledeburitic cold work tool steel, etched for revealing retained austenite, any help for clarifying?

Hello everyone. Given microstructure image belongs to a 12% ledeburitic cold work tool steel (annealed and tempered). The sample was etched with picral (100 mL ethanol and 4 g picric acid). I...

Why Austenite grains in steel show much more twinning than ferrite grains?

It is oftentimes said to be a distinctive metallographic trait that differentiates a fully austenitic and a fully felly ferritic steel without etching that might distinguish between two. Why...

How Can I bring as much common elements in steel as possible to calculate stable phase(s) in OpenCalphad?

As I was tweaking step-by-step OpenCalphad6 Macros step1.ocm involving phase and thermal property calculation of a High-speed steel, I could not incorporate more than 6 elements in the steel...

I need to accelerate corrosion in steel parts that are used in a salt-water environment. Is there a technique for doing so?

I have a structure that employs d-ring swiveling tie-downs that corrode during use and become "frozen". I have sample swivel assemblies that I wish to corrode to see if I can free them using one...

What kind of steel moulds are used for hot pressing metal powders?

My main concern is that the metal powders should not weld to the mold surface and I should easily be able to eject out the pressed samples. I am looking for alternative for graphite moulds. The...

What are effects of steel jacketing on flexural strength?

Dear all, If steel jacketing is used to retrofit a reinforced-concrete (RC) column, can we use it to improve flexural strength? I understand that we leave gaps between the ends of the jacket and...

The ingot is from continuous casting?

Prafull Patil

It is ingot cast product. Not Continuous cast.

How many off center?

What side lengths have the ingot?

It is 600 dia ingot. Porosity occur at any random location. It is not gas porosity as it is killed steel.

I talk about your problem with a siderurgical specialist named Jorge Madías (he is in RG), and he said: "It would have to see if this is a porosity by shrinkage, by evolution of gases or by surface reactions. The shrinkage cavity porosity usually is centralized but may be moved if there are any heterogeneity in the heat flow. The porosity outgassing during solidification may be located at a distance from the skin of the ingot, for example 20 mm to 30 mm. Finally, the porosity of the liquid metal reactions with moisture or carbon dust strainer is usually superficial"

Ok. Thank you for the comment.
