Conclusions
-
1.
During isothermal aging (500–700°C) of steel 15Kh1M1F there is intensive precipitation hardening in overheated sections of the weldment due to the precipitation of dispersed carbides in the matrix with a high dislocation density.
-
2.
The kinetics of aging and subsequent softening depend on the combined effects of the precipitation of dispersed carbides, coalescence, and the development of recovery and recrystallization. The higher the aging temperature, the more rapidly the highest hardness is attained and the lower its absolute value.
-
3.
A stable substructure of acicular ferrite is formed under the conditions of isothermal aging investigated.
