Abstract
MAR-aging steels have gained a respectable position among design engineers who demand ultra-high strength, reasonable ductility, and good fracture toughness, especially where outerspace and aerospace applications are concerned. This specialty steel category of MAR-aging alloys owes its unique properties to a complex hardening reaction, which involves precipitation of uniform intragranular ribbons (Ni3Mo phase) on dislocations during the treatment cycle. Like any other metallurgical process, MAR-aging treatment cycles can become quite difficult, if not impossible. When that condition does exist, the end result is often called a dead heat by MAR-aging technologists. This paper examines a dead heat and makes appropriate comparisons to other live heats. Salient differences and interactive similarities are both studied in terms of microstructure, serial sections, chemical composition, and selected mechanical properties. The intent of this paper is to shed more light on the previously indistinct subject of banding.
