Conclusions
-
1.
Secondary hardening in 1Kh12N2VMF steel occurs as the result of the formation of the metastable carbide M2C enriched in chromium. This carbide has a hexagonal structure.
-
2.
The maximum relaxation resistance of this steel at 300 and 350°C occurs after tempering at 450 and 500°C. Tempering ensures only a slight impoverishment of the solid solution in alloyed elements and the precipitation of the strengthening dispersed particles of the M2C carbide.
-
3.
1Kh12N2VMF steel has a high resistance to relaxation at temperatures up to 350°C.
