The graph shows plots of aged hardness versus aging time at 455°C (850°F) for Fe-18Ni-5Mo and Fe-18Ni-5Mo-8Co maraging steels.
Continue readingChromium in Martensitic Stainless Steels
Higher chromium alloys, the range over which full austenitization can occur is further restricted. The variety of martensitic stainless steels would be very limited if only chromium and carbon were available as alloying elements, but fortunately nickel can make an important contribution.
Continue readingOne Minute Mentor: Martensitic Stainless Steels
A stainless martensitic alloy should have the following characteristics:
• It must have at least 10.5% chromium to qualify as stainless, and even more for better corrosion resistance.
• It should be fully austenitic at some temperature.
• The temperature at which austenite forms on heating should be sufficiently high to permit tempering above the temper embrittlement range.
