Abstract
The aim of the characterization of P911 steel is to determine the consequence of different tempering temperature on nano-size particle evolution and their effect on the mechanical properties. P911 steel was normalized at 1040°C for 1h and subjected to varying tempering condition in the range of 720–800°C for 2h of tempering time. To study the effect of tempering temperature on nano-size particles distribution and grain size of P911 steel, field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and optical microscope (OM) were utilized. The other tests were hardness measurement and room-temperature tensile testing was performed to characterize the P911 steel for different tempering condition. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and hardness have found a great dependency on the area fraction of precipitates present in the microstructure. The UTS and hardness were observed to be increased continuously with increase in tempering temperature in range of 720–800°C.
