Abstract
The microstructure of high-chromium cast irons (HCCI) was investigated using combined EDS and WDS X-Ray Mapping (XRM). XRM was found to be useful for distinguishing and determining the compositions and proportions of the multiple phases observed in the microstructure including various carbides and those of the ferrous matrix. The ratio of Cr/Fe in the carbides and matrix and how this ratio changed with alloy composition (alloy partitioning) was found to be critical in the overall properties of the alloys.
