| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The heat treatment process was investigated to form core-shell structured precipitates composed of hard VC (core) and soft Cu (shell) particles in Fe-2Cu-0.9V-0.19C alloy. Firstly, VC was precipitated within martensite matrix through quenching and tempering, and then the specimen was heated in the VC+austenite two-phase region, followed by austenite to ferrite phase transformation at various cooling rates to make Cu precipitate on the surface of pre-existing VC. It was found that Cu underwent in-situ precipitation on VC when the cooling rate is slow. However, Cu tended to preferentially grow in a specific crystallographic direction after the nucleation. The method to control the morphology of Cu would be the next subject to be solved in future.
