description | The dissolution behavior of carbides in martensitic stainless steel and its effect on microstructure and hardness were investigated by using X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). The results indicated that the microstructure after austenitizing heat treatment and oil quenched consisted of martensite, M(23)C(6) carbides and retained austenite. The temperature and particle size had great influence on the dissolution of carbides. The EBSD results showed that the twin-related variant pair V1/V2 governed the phase transformation. Meanwhile, the density of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) increased with the increase of austenitizing temperature from 950 to 1150 °C. The hardness test results indicated that the hardness first increased and then decreased with the increase of the austenitizing temperature, and the peak appeared at 1050 °C with a Rockwell hardness value of 59.8 HRC. A model was established to quantitatively explain the contribution of different microstructures to hardness. The contribution to hardness came mainly from martensite. The retained austenite had a negative effect on hardness when the volume fraction was more than 10%. In contrast, carbides contributed less to hardness due to their small content. |
