AI Technical Summary
Harmful inclusions and coarse primary carbides in existing H13 steel are difficult to control effectively, leading to a decline in material properties, especially a shortened lifespan under high-temperature impact and thermal fatigue conditions.
By employing the synergistic effect of CeO2 and TiC, nanoparticles are pre-dispersed and mixed through low-temperature ball milling, pressed into powder blocks, and then added to molten steel. Combined with ultrasonic or mechanical stirring, this achieves simultaneous modification and refinement of inclusions and primary carbides.
It significantly improves the microstructure uniformity and comprehensive mechanical properties of H13 steel, enhances tensile strength, yield strength and toughness, and extends service life.
