Abstract

This paper presents the research results on the microstructure changes of SKD61 steel after quenching at 1050[Formula: see text]C and then tempering at 580[Formula: see text]C. After quenching and tempering, the microstructure of this steel is determined by various moieties, including tempering martensite, residual austenite, and carbides dispersed within the matrix. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray, and energy-dispersive spectroscopic analysis reveal that the presence of the carbides Cr7C3, Mo3C2 and MoC determines the mechanical properties of steel during high-temperature operations.
