Abstract
It was shown that in a 10% Cr martensitic steel enriched by boron this element tends to segregate within M23C6 carbides having the film-like shape and precipitated on the boundaries of prior austenite grains (PAG), mainly. It leads to a low value of Charpy V-notch impact toughness of 6 J/cm2. These carbides are highly resistant against the spheroidizing. Only the tempering at 770°C leads to the final formation of M23C6 carbides having the equiaxed shape. Concurrently, this tempering strongly decreases boron segregation. As a result, the 10% Cr martensitic steel exhibits a high value of Charpy V-notch impact toughness of 260 J/cm2.
