Abstract

The paper investigates the influence of structural and phase parameters on the mechanical properties of the martensitic-aging steel VNC-17 of the Fe–Cr–Ni–Mo–Ti system. Transmission electron microscopy methods have shown that the structure of the VNC-17 steel, heat treated according to modes including quenching and aging, is characterized by the release of a fine Ni3Ti phase, the existence of which is confirmed by studies of the phase composition by X-ray diffraction analysis. The revealed structural and phase features justify the choice of the heat treatment mode of the martensitic-aging steel VNC-17, which provides hardening without loss of plasticity.
