Conclusions
-
1.
In maraging steel of the Kh5N12M3TYu type grain growth begins during heating from 950 to 1000° Preliminary high-temperature treatment affects only the grain size.
-
2.
The impact strength of the steel decreases on cooling from temperatures at which grain growth occurs, i.e., as in low-carbon low-alloy steels.
-
3.
For steel of the Kh5N12M3TYu type no relationship was estalished between the coercive force and the grain size, although the coercive force can be used for qualitative determination of the grain size: it is smaller in coarse-grained than fine-grained steel, particularly for incomplete hardening and aging at 475°.
