The quantitative analysis of carbide phase in high speed steels

The examinations of the structure and the quantitative analysis of the carbide in high speed steels HS 2-10-1-8, HS 6-5-2, HS 10-2-5-8 are concluded in this case study report. Analysis of structure was carried out based on the scanning electron microscopy images. Computer system of images analyzed by the Multiscan was used to measurement the diameters of carbides. The diameter mean distribution of the carbides was described by function, on the basis of the work by J. Cybo, S. Jura [1]. Coefficients of the approximate function were used to calculate the stereoliogical parameters of the carbides.
