Abstract: Applying the severe deformation, the mechanical properties related to secondary hardening were investigated. The Mo-Cr-Co-Ni steels containing (5-13)wt% Co and (8-14)wt% Ni were severely rolled at 850 °C, followed by direct quenching(DQ). DQ specimens were then isothermally aged at 475°C. Ni additions promoted aging kinetics, accompanied by a little enhancement in hardness. In contrast, Co additions enhanced the peak hardness, but did not induce a remarkable aging acceleration. In the 13Co addition group, an actual secondary hardening, that is, the peak hardness is higher than the as-quenched hardness. Variation in peak hardness(Rc) in alloys is summarized as follows; 14Ni-13Co(57.2) ≒ 11Ni-13Co(57.1) > 8Ni-13Co(56.5) > 11Ni- 9Co(56.2) > 8Ni-9Co(54.4) > 11Ni-5Co(53.4).

Abstract: Secondary hardening and fracture behavior in the high Co-Ni steels containing W, has been studied in terms of severe deformation, Cr addition, and austenite condition. Two kinds of Co- Ni steels, containing the only W(W steel), and the W and Cr(WCr steel), were severely rolled and followed by direct quenching(DQ). In comparison with undeformed specimens, reaustenitizing( RA) was performed. DQ specimens exhibited higher impact toughness as well as higher hardness, as compared to RA specimens. The aging kinetics of the WCr steel was accelerated due to the Cr addition. While the W steel showed the intergranular embrittlement in the high temperature RA condition, in addition, the WCr steel exhibited the transgranular mode of mostly dimple type.
