Niolox, AEB-L, and CPM-154 Micrographs and Analysis

[Larrin]

For the first time ever micrographs have been taken for Niolox (at least as far as I know). It has a very interesting microstructure with its Nb carbides. I have numbers for carbide volume and chromium content of the matrix for the different steels along with some other comparisons. Check it out!

Larrin, is this a typo or am I misunderstanding?

No vanadium carbides were observed, though there was some vanadium enrichment of the chromium and vanadium carbides,

I have it fixed now, thanks for spotting that.

Cool stuff Larrin, any plans to do nitro V so we can see what it looks like?

No plans at the moment. I’m always open to charpy toughness samples from whoever will produce them: http://knifesteelnerds.com/how-you-can-help/
