Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Alloying of graphitized steel of the 100SYu type with nickel and molybdenum (100S2NDMYu) in place of manganese (100S2GDYu) increases the hardenability but lowers the heat resistance.

  2. 2.

    Alloying with manganese, nickel, and molybdenum (140G2N2MS) substantially reduces the hardenability, increases the stability of retained austenite, and induces secondary hardening.

  3. 3.

    The stabilizing effect of silicon and aluminum on martensite is retained after additional alloying.
