Abstract
The microstructure and tensile properties at 973K in 9CrODS steels were investigated with respect to various fractions of the residual ferrite from zero to 47vol.%. The formation of the residual ferrite was discussed from a balance between a chemical driving force for α to γ reverse transformation and the oxide particle pinning force, while 0.04mass% carbon sample could contain an equilibrium δ-ferrite. With increasing volume fraction of the residual ferrite, strength at 973K increases but ductility decreases, which is attributed to the fact that the residual ferrite is harder than the tempered martensite.
