Conclusions
-
1.
The addition of Co to corrosion resistance martensitic-aged steel 03Cr9N9Mo3 leads to an increase in the amount of residual austenite in its structure (to a lesser degree in the quenched state and to a larger degree after aging). There is also an increase in the martensitic aging process.
-
2.
It is necessary to increase the Co concentration to no less than 10% in order to ensure the stability of residual austenite at low temperatures in the strengthened state (after aging).
-
3.
As the Co concentration increases from 0 to 10% the strength of the steel after aging increases from 1220 to 1380 N/mm2 while adequate levels of ductility and impact strength are maintained.
-
4.
At a Co concentration of 5% the hydrogen embrittlement resistance is at a minimum, but as the Co concentration increases to 8–10% it increases to a level characteristic of steels without Co.
