Influence of reversed austenite on the properties of a 13Cr4NiMo ultra-low carbon martensitic stainless steel in different environments

In this study, the influence of reversed austenite on the mechanical and corrosion resistance properties of 13Cr4NiMo martensitic stainless steel was investigated. The results reveal that the reversed austenite content in the sample increases with the increase of tempering times. The presence of an appropriate amount of reversed austenite not only improves the comprehensive mechanical properties of martensitic stainless steel but also reduces the susceptibility to pitting corrosion.

Automated summary

The presence of reversed austenite can enhance the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of martensitic stainless steel, particularly improving resistance to pitting corrosion.
