Abstract: | In Fe-4 pct Mo-0.2 pct C martensite which is a typical secondary hardening steel, premature failure o°Curred in tensile test
at 600 °C to 700°C where solute atoms could diffuse easily. To clarify this phenomenon, the quenched specimens were tempered under applied stress
and tensile-tested at room temperature. The following results were obtained: (1) Typical intergranular fracture was observed
in specimens tempered in a temperature range of 600 °C to 650 °C with tempering times of five minutes to 10 minutes and applied
stress (70 MPa to 140 MPa). (2) Based on Auger analysis, this phenomenon was considered to be caused by segregation of P,
S, and Mo on prior austenite grain boundaries due to applied stress. (3) The direction of applied stress was found to be very
significant. Namely, when the tensile direction was parallel to the applied stress during tempering, the specimen was more
brittle, and when tensile direction was normal to the applied stress, the specimen was not so brittle. (4) To reduce this
embrittlement, solution treatment temperature was adjusted, and it was found that the embrittlement was considerably reduced
both in specimens with fine prior austenite grains and with some ferrite phase on prior austenite grain boundaries.
