- Abstract
The article focuses on the role silicon plays in the production of an austenitic steel matrix composite that is reinforced by in-situ nodular eutectic. It states that particle phases impart resistance to abrasive wear, which is why a metal matrix composite that is particle-reinforced has improved strength and wear resistance compared to the matrix material. It mentions that the carbon content in an austenite matrix will undergo a gradual reduction as the silicon content increases, and that the silicon enhances the segregation of manganese and carbon. It states that nodular eutectics are created between austenitic dendrite arms and austenitic grains when the liquid in the small molten areas attain the concentration of eutectic reaction once the solidification process ends.
