The effect of adding boron in solidification microstructure of dilute iron-carbon alloy as assessed by phase-field modeling

Alloying element like boron, even in small addition, is well known to improve hardenability of steels. Its application can improve mechanical properties of steels and reduce alloying costs. Despite these benefits is not easy to cast boron steels, mainly in dynamical solidification process like conti...
