Conclusions
-
1.
Steel Kh15N25V4T (ÉP164) has a structure with a fairly high stability at working temperatures of 550–700°C.
-
2.
The basic hardening phase in this steel is the intermetallic compound βNi3Ti with a fec lattice.
-
3.
Prolonged aging at temperatures up to 750°C has almost no effect on the lattice constant of the βNi3Ti phase; also, the high dispersity of the phase is retained.
-
4.
Along with the β phase, the intermetallic compound Fe2W also occurs. It is formed after a very long incubation period and its dispersity is several orders lower than that of the primary hardening phase (βNi3Ti).
