Abstract The microstructure, eutectic carbides and intermetallic compounds in as-cast ingots with varying Nb contents produced by electroslag remelting were studied. The solidification behavior, microsegregation of alloying elements and its influence on precipitates were analyzed. The increase in Nb content from 0.64 to 1.40 wt.% has no effect on the dendrite morphology and secondary dendrite arm spacing. The total area fraction of eutectic NbC and Laves phase in as-cast ingots increases with the increase in Nb content. The eutectic precipitates in the ingot with 0.64 wt.% Nb are mainly NbC, and the others are Fe2Nb-type Laves phase. Increasing the Nb content of the steel significantly promotes the precipitation of Laves phases and lowers the precipitation temperature of NbC eutectic carbides. Eutectic carbide M2C is precipitated only in the ingot with 1.4 wt.% Nb. The average concentration of Nb in both interdendritic and intragranular regions increases with the increase in Nb content of the steel, leading to a change in the morphology of Fe2Nb-type Laves phase from honeycomb to blocky. Increasing the Nb content exerts little effect on the microsegregation degrees of Si, Mo, Cr and Ni in the steel.
