Study on eutectic melting and relocation behavior of B$$_{4}$$C powder and stainless steel through radiative heating

Ahmed, Z.*; Pellegrini, M.*; Yamano, Hidemasa   ; Sharma, A. K.*; Okamoto, Koji*

Experimental investigations with radiative heating were conducted using stainless steel (SS) tubes filled with boron carbide (B$$_{4}$$C) powder in the temperature range of 1150$$^{circ}$$C to 1372$$^{circ}$$C, specifically targeting long duration melting and its relocation behavior. Eutectic melting occurred when the interface temperature reached approximately 1180$$^{circ}$$C. Two melting mechanisms were identified: the SS layer peeling off the B$$_{4}$$C powder and forming a melting drop that contained boride structures. A comprehensive composition analysis utilizing scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X ray spectroscopy (SEM EDX) provided insights of the surface morphology of the molten drop after rapid cooling at a rate of 50$$^{circ}$$C/s. Additionally, X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of different boride crystal phases.
