Abstract:

In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of 0.63C-12.7Cr martensitic stainless steel during various tempering treatments were investigated. Experimental results demonstrate that finely distributed primary carbides can be observed in 0.63C-12.7Cr martensitic stainless steel. It was also found that the measured hardness of 0.63C-12.7Cr martensitic stainless steel after 300°C tempered treatment for 60 minutes can still reach to 677Hv. The variation of measured hardness was found not significant during tempering treatments (200°C-500°C). Moreover, owing to lower concentration of C and Cr, the matensitic transformation temperature Ms can be increased to 96.4°C comparing to -127°C of SUS440C materials.
