本論文は、炭化ホウ素(BC)とステンレス鋼(SS)の共晶溶融・固化反応に関する反応生成物及びその分布を扱う。BC-SS共晶反応への炭素の存在の影響を調べるため、ホウ化鉄(FeB)とSSの反応を比較して、多変量スペクトル解析を用いたラマン分光分析を実施した。走査電子顕微鏡とエネルギー分散型X線分析も実施し、Cr, Ni, Feのような純金属の要素情報を調べた。BC-SS試料では、界面層に非結晶カーボンやFeB, FeBが見られた。それに対して、FeB-SS試料では、界面にはそのような界面層が見られなかった。

This paper addresses reaction products and their distribution of the eutectic melting/solidifying reaction of boron carbide (BC) and stainless-steel (SS). The influence of the existence of carbon on the BC-SS eutectic reaction was investigated by comparing the iron boride (FeB)-SS reaction by Raman spectroscopy with Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR) analysis. The scanning electron microscopy with dispersive X-ray spectrometer was also used to investigate the elemental information of the pure metals such as Cr, Ni, and Fe. In the BC-SS samples, a new layer was formed between BC/SS interface, and the layer was confirmed that the formed layer corresponded to amorphous carbon (graphite) or FeB or FeB. In contrast, a new layer was not clearly formed between FeB and SS interface in the FeB-SS samples.
