| Summary: | In this study, focus was set upon developing new method to produce cutting tool
through the employment of superplastic boronizing and duplex stainless steel, within
which formation of the cutting tool from boronized duplex stainless steel subjected to
superplastic deformation was tested against the determining parameters, strain and
strain rate. As received DSS specimen was thermo-mechanically treated by heating up
to 1537K, holding for one hour, followed by water quenching and then cold rolled to a
plate through a reduction area of 75%. Prior to superplastic forming, treated DSS was
boronized at 1223K for 6 hours, thereafter producing average surface hardness of 2247
HV and layer thickness of 46.3 μm. Then, the specimen was superplastically deformed
into designated cutting tool at 1223K with the strain rate of 1x10-4 and 9x10-5 s-1. Result
showed that the flow stress of the deformed specimen was higher at the faster strain
rate. At slower strain rate and low strain (0.4), no flaws were observed at the surface of
the deformed specimen. However, at faster strain rate and higher strain (0.8 and 1.0)
flaws that lead to surface disintegration were observed. It is very crucial to control these
parameter (strain rate and strain) to avoid any surface flaw (disintegrity) to the
specimen.
