Properties of Austenite in Maraging Steel

Abstract:

The reasons of high strength of residual and reverted austenite in the maraging steel H18K9M5T are discussed. It has been shown that the high value of the residual austenite yield strength is due to the dispersity of its crystals and phase hardening; a significant increase in the strength properties of the reverted austenite is caused by the presence of intermetallide particles with high dispersity in it.
