Microstructures Comparison of Stellite 6 Alloy by Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis and Cast HS111 Alloy

The microstructures of as-SHSed Stellite 6 and as-cast HS111 were investigated by SEM, XRD and EPMA. It was shown that there is significant similarity in the microstructures of as-SHSed Stellite 6 and as-cast HS111. But carbides of continuous cast HS111 alloy can form single and uniform carbides phase.
