Abstract

We have succeeded the fabrication of Ni-free Co-29Cr-6Mo alloys with ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructures via conventional hot forging process with the reduction up to 83.4% (true strain of 1.8). Grain refinement to submicron order is an effective method for improvement of strength and athermal martensite e{open} phase formed during quenching seems to determine the ductility of this alloy system.
