Mini-thixoforming of High-Alloyed CPM REX 121 Steel

Original language description

Thixo-forming is an unconventional semi-solid forming process, by which complex-shaped products can be manufactured using a single forming operation. It can even be applied to difficult-to-form materials, including those which are impossible to process by conventional methods. Today, commercial semi-solid processing is used for low-melting materials, primarily aluminium and magnesium alloys. Due to its technological complexity, thixo-forming of high-melting alloys is still under development. For this reason, the present experimental programme was focused on the tool steel CPM REX 121 with a melting point above 1200 C produced by powder metallurgy. The total content of alloying elements in this steel is 37.5 %. Owing to the high levels of alloying elements, namely Co, Mo, W, V and Cr, this material cannot be formed by conventional methods. The purpose of the present experiment was to explore its potential for forming in semi-solid state and to find suitable processing parameters. Experimental forming took place in a mini-thixoforming die, a tool specially-developed for this thixo-forming variant intended for producing very small parts. The resulting microstructures were examined by means of optical and electron microscopy. It was found that semi-solid processing leads to the development of microstructure with austenitic grains, martensite, chromium and V-W-Mo complex carbides and also a eutectic formed by partial melting of carbides.
