Conclusions
Maraging steels ÉP678, ÉP679, and ÉP699 cooled slowly from 1250° show precipitates of various phases in the grain boundaries, mainly titanium carbonitrides, the size and quantity of which increase with cooling. With cooling to 950–850° there are also particles that consist of titanium with oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. These particles in the grain boundaries can cause embrittlement of the steels.
