Abstract: | The age hardening kinetics in the temperature range of 713 to 813 K of a 2400 MPa grade cobalt-free maraging steel (Fe-(18.8 ∼ 19.1) pct Ni-(4.4 ∼ 5.4) pct Mo-2.6 pct Ti, wt pct) has been studied. Study of microstructure and mechanical properties showed that a high number of Ni3Ti and Fe2(Mo,Ti) precipitates were formed during the ageing process, which resulted in high strength and relatively low fracture toughness. Ni3Ti was the main precipitation phase. Fractography has shown ductile failure of tensile and fracture toughness specimens. Thermodynamic calculations showed that the equilibrium phases are Ni3Ti, Fe2(Mo,Ti), ferrite, and austenite. |
