Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Microadditions of boron do not influence decomposition of martensite in in tempering of steels hardened from the normal temperature.

  2. 2.

    As the result of formation of a stable polygonal structure blocked by dispersed particles of the boron-containing phase recrystallization is difficult, which leads to retarding of the process of softening of boron-containing steels in tempering after high-temperature hardening.
