Abstract

An important role for the peritectic reaction path in castings of stainless steel play small changes in a carbon content (e.g. from 0,02 to 0,06 % C), at maintaining constant chromium and nickel values. An influence of the carbon content on the peritectic reaction stages constitutes the subject of studies. The calculations of the steel solidification pathways in the four-component system, of a constant chromium and nickel content of 18 % and 9 % – respectively and of various carbon content from 0,01 to 0,06 %, were performed. It was proved by means of the PANDAT program that the carbon concentration increases the Cr segregation and thereby changes the solidification path under actual conditions.
