Abstract
Abstract The microstructure of 4Cr13 corrosion-resistant plastic mold steel was studied. The martensitic experimental steel obtained by different heat treatment processes was used as the object. The effect of austenitizing temperature on its corrosion behavior was studied by microstructure characterization and electrochemical test. The results show that the microstructure of the test steel is mainly composed of martensite laths. Under the same experimental conditions, the corrosion resistance of the test steel decreases with the increase of austenitizing temperature, and the corrosion products are mainly composed of iron-containing oxides. The austenitizing temperature of 1000°C improves the corrosion resistance of the material, because the precipitation of a large number of small-sized Cr-containing carbides hinders the further erosion of the material and improves the surface quality.
