Abstract

The paper present the results of investigation into the directional solidification of Fe-C-Cr alloys containing about 30% Cr and various contents of carbon. The main types of the structure of these alloys were given and the zone of a coupled growth of the eutectic was determined as well as an effect of the growth rate on the interfacial distance λ and on the tensile strengthof these alloys. It was proved that the additions of titanium and cerium considerably reduce the distance λ and increase the tensile strength, which in the case of an Fe-Cr-C-Ce alloy can reach a value of about 3250 MPa. The alloys solidified in the form of bars and plates which also enabled the determination of an effect of angle between the axis of the carbide fibres and the direction of loading on the ultimate tensile strength. of these alloys.
