Abstract

The Cu-bearing martensitic stainless steel 5Cr15MoV was heat treated at different temperatures for 30 min and then oil quenched. The effect of quenching temperature on the microstructure, hardness and corrosion resistance of the steel were investigated by means of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), hardness tester and electrochemical test. The results show that the addition of Cu increases the volume fraction of residual austenite and decreases the hardness of the steel, the undissolved carbides in the quenched steel are Cr rich M₂₃C₆ type carbides with FCC structure, and the addition of Cu has no obvious effect on the size and morphology of the carbides in the 5Cr15MoV martensitic stainless steel, but its corrosion resistance is slightly reduced. With increase of the quenching temperature from 1000^oC to 1100^oC the undissolved carbides decrease, while the corrosion resistance of the steel increases. Meanwhile, the content of residual austenite also increases with the increase of quenching temperature. The combined action of carbide and residual austenite makes the hardness versus temperature curve of the quenched steel a parabolic shape with a maximum value at 1050°C.

Key words: metallic materials Cu-bearing 5Cr15MoV martensitic stainless steel microstructure hardness corrosion resistance
