%0 Journal Article %T A LOW TEMPERATURE ALUMINIZING TREATMENT OF HOT WORK TOOL STEEL %A Matijevi£¿ %A Bo£¿idar %J - %D 2013 %X Sa£¿etak Conventional aluminizing processes by pack cementation are typically carried out at elevated temperatures. A low temperature powder aluminizing technology was applied to the X40CrMoV5-1 hot tool steel. The aluminizing temperature was from 550 ¡ãC to 620 ¡ãC. Effects of temperature and time on the microstructure and phase evolution were investigated. Also, the intermetallic layer thickness was measured in the aluminized layer of a steel substrate. The cross-sectional microstructures, the aluminized layer thickness, and the oxide layer were studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and glow discharge optical spectroscopy (GDOS) were applied to observe the cross-sections and the distribution of elements %K low temperature pack aluminizing %K aluminium oxide coatings %K high pressure die casting %K reactive soldering %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=146831
