Abstract

A study of precipitation reactions in the Cr-Mn austenitic steel Nitronic 32 was performed by means of electron microscopy, electron diffraction, X-ray microanalysis and electron energy loss spectrometry. The material was examined: (a) after solution annealing and ageing at 773, 1023 and 1073 K; (b) after solution annealing followed by ambient temperature He-implantation and ageing at 773 and 1023 K and, (c) in the solution annealed state for comparison. The formation of the phases M23C6 and Cr2N was observed. Their precipitation modes and sequence are described and discussed.
