Abstract
Austenitic steel based on the Fe-Cr-Mn-Ni system showing transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) was processed in a Bridgman furnace. During the melting of high Mn stainless steel in a vacuum induction furnace and the subsequent casting process, several corrosion problems with the refractory – the crucibles and the moulded materials occurred. Three crucible materials with varying SiO2 contents and an Al2O3-ZrSiO4 moulding material were tested. The degradation processes are discussed, combining experimental results analysed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electrondispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray diffractometry.
