In situ phase characterization in tempering and aging of Fe-Cr-W steels

Description

The in situ measurements of hardness and X-ray diffraction have been performed at high temperature for Fe-Cr-W steels. The effect of tungsten concentration was investigated by comparing Fe-9Cr-2W-V-Ta steel and Fe-9Cr-3W-V-Ta steel. The tungsten addition increases hardness below 873 K. An aging test for 3600 s at 873 and 1073 K showed no clear change of hardness. A structural change from bcc to fcc and tungsten carbide coarsening are observed by X-ray diffractometry
