Conclusions
-
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.
Alloying with manganese, nickel, and molybdenum (140G2N2MS) substantially reduces the hardenability, increases the stability of retained austenite, and induces secondary hardening.
-
3.
The stabilizing effect of silicon and aluminum on martensite is retained after additional alloying.
