There is a gold mine in Zimbabwe whose liners are not lasting according to their expectations, so they need liners which are able to last longer so that the downtime for relining them is reduced. So according to literature l found Cr and Mo being the best alloying elements l could use according to our context.Greetings. I would like to ask if you may assist me in this regard. Thank you in advance.
The difference is probably in the formation of second phases while conducting heat treatments to the steel. For example for Mn-alloyed steel, usually, second phase will not be detected while in Mo based metal different second phases might appear.
The formation of second phases might have a significant effect on the mechanical properties and they can significantly reduce the steel's ductility.
It is known that different alloying elements or phase stabilizers can significantly affect the steel's mechanical properties. In the case of Mn and Mo phase's stabilizers of gamma and alpha phases, respectively, by changing the main alloying element you can affect the phase stability of the steel and also change the formation of second phases as stated above.
