研究者は、冷間スプレー堆積法と摩擦攪拌加工を組み合わせた、新しい酸化物分散強化(ODS)鋼の製造方法を開発しました。このアプローチにより、従来の複雑で高コストなプロセスに代わる簡便な手法が可能になり、強度と延性のバランスが取れたODS鋼板を作成できます。ナノサイズの酸化物粒子が微細構造内に高密度で分散されていることが確認されました。この方法は、ODS鋼の大規模製造に向けた有望な証拠として注目されており、将来的な融合炉材料に適しています。

強化鋼製造の代替アプローチ(An Alternate Approach to Fabricating Strengthened Steel)

Highlights

  • A possible alternative approach combining cold spray deposition and friction stir processing was employed to fabricate the oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel plate.
  • The as-fabricated ODS steel plate showed a uniform microstructure.
  • Well-disperse nano-sized oxide particles were formed in the newly fabricated ODS steel.

Abstract

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels, traditionally fabricated by ball milling and conventional powder metallurgy techniques to achieve bulk form, followed by intricate rolling and thermal treatment steps to achieve plate or sheet form. Here, we present a novel processing route that combines cold spray (CS) with friction stir processing (FSP) to manufacture ODS steel plate directly from gas atomization reaction synthesis (GARS)-prepared powder, thus no rolling steps involved. Microstructural and mechanical characterizations were performed to assess the quality and properties of the resulting ODS steel plate. Our findings demonstrate that the slightly porous CS deposited layer was fully consolidated after FSP, yielding a fully dense ODS steel plate that exhibited a favorable tradeoff between strength and ductility upon extraction from the substrate. Furthermore, through microstructural analysis, we revealed the presence of an appreciable density (∼1022/m3) of nano-sized oxide particles, with the majority being smaller than 5 nm via the combined CS + FSP fabrication route. This work serves as a first proof-of-concept demonstration of the manufacturing approach described herein, offering a possible alternative route for producing ODS steel plates.
