Abstract
The microstructure and mechanical properties of a 15%Cr super martensitic stainless steel microalloyed with tungsten were investigated by means of dilatometer,optical microscopy,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM),energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS),and tensile and hardness tests.The results revealed that a typical biphase structure of tempered martensite and reversed austenite which diffusional distributed in martensite matrix was selected after quenching and tempering.The reversed austenite and martensite matrix meet the K-S relationship.The diffraction pattern calculations and the EDS analysis of TEM confirmed that the nanometer-sized Laves particles and rich copper phase e-Cu precipitated in the matrix during tempering in the investigated steel,which were contributive to improve strength.The steel microalloyed with W showed an improved mechanical property values: 26~36 RC hardness,895~1 009 MPa tensile strength,17%~21% elongation.
