Abstract
It is usually difficult to quantitatively determine the mass fraction of each type of precipitates in steels using transmission electron microscopy and traditional X-ray powder diffraction analysis methods. In this paper the Rietveld full-pattern fitting algorithm was employed to calculate the relative mass fractions of the precipitates in 2.25Cr–1Mo–0.25V steel. The results suggest that the fractions of MC, M 7C 3 and M 23C 6 carbides were evaluated precisely and relatively quickly. In addition, it was found that the fine MC phase dissolved into the matrix with prolonged tempering.
