摘要
On ageing at different temperatures a various combination of properties has been obtained for this Cu-bearing ultrahigh strength steel. A substantial increase in strength has been obtained at 450 degrees C, accompanied by a drop in percentage elongation, percentage reduction in area and toughness. At 550 degrees C temperature extensive epsilon-Cu precipitates have been observed. The increased strength value retained in the temperature range of 450-600 degrees C and a secondary hardening peak obtained at 600 degrees C is probably due to the formation of fine Mo carbide precipitates. The decrease in strength at 650 degrees C along with an increase in percentage elongation, percentage reduction in area and toughness is due to the coarsening of Cu particles and a partial recovery of matrix. At 700 degrees C most of the Cu precipitates become rod shaped and formation of fresh martensite with a dark contrast is observed at the lath boundaries. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
