Effect of carbon on copper precipitation in deformed Fe-based alloys studied by positron annihilation spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of deformation-induced defects and carbon addition on the copper precipitation during aging at 550 o C is investigated in high-purity Fe-Cu-B-N-C alloy samples by Coincidence Doppler Broadening. In samples with 0% and 8% cold pre-strain, the influence of tensile pre-deformation on the precipitation kinetics of copper is studied. The deformationinduced defects are found to enhance the Cu precipitation kinetics. A sharp reduction in open volume defects is accompanied with a strong increase of Cu signature during the initial stage of aging, implying that the open defects (mainly dislocations) act as nucleation sites for Cu precipitates. A comparison of the time evolution of S-W plots between Fe-Cu, Fe-Cu-B-N, and Fe-Cu-B-N-C alloys indicates that the addition of carbon does not alter the Cu precipitation mechanism but decelerates the kinetics.
