Abstract
The effect of boric acid on microstructural evolution during the consolidation at atmospheric pressure(CAP) process of T-15 highspeed steel has been analysed in comparison with the effect of elemental boron. X-ray diffraction, X-ray microanalysis, optical and scanning electron microscope are utilized to examine the sintered structures. The microstructural and metallurgical features resulting from these two different sources of boron were essentially identical. Therefore the sintering enhancement effect of boric acid proved to be that of elemental boron which is formed through the reduction of boric acid during the CAP process.
