T1 - Enhanced properties of martensitic stainless steel due to austenite reversion N2 - The novel heat treatment concept of “Quenching and Partitioning” (Q&P) enables producing low alloyed martensitic steels with high strength and formability. Therefore austenite, retaining from a quenching temperature between Mf and Ms, is stabilised by carbon diffusion. This stabilised austenite transforms in martensite (TRIP effect) under mechanical loading. Current investigations on the Q&P heat treatment of martensitic stainless steels reveal a further enhancement of mechanical properties due to higher amounts of austenite. Thus a tensile strength of 1.800 MPa and a maximum elongation of 20 % are possible, while mechanical properties under compression are much higher due to a distinct SD effect. The presentation aims to gain a further understanding of the Q&P heat treatment and the resulting mechanical properties for the steel X46Cr13, especially the mechanical behaviour under dynamic mechanical loading condition. Results of drop work and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar test confirms the findings of quasi static compression test. Furthermore, Charpy impact tests show higher impact toughness compared to the common heat treatment of quenching and tempering (Q&T). Complementary investigations indicate a higher corrosion resistance of Q&P compared to Q&T.

A1 - Burkert, Andreas T1 - Precipitation behavior and corrosion resistance of nickel-free, high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steels N2 - Nickel-free, nitrogen alloyed austenitic stainless-steels, with about 19 wt.-% Mn and 0,8 wt. % N, are an interesting alternative to classic CrNi austenitic stainless steels due to their superior mechanical properties (Rm > 900 MPa, A5 > 50 %, Av > 350 J) in the solution annealed condition. The formation of chromium-rich nitrides during suboptimal heat treatment, processing or application leads to an inhomogeneous distribution of alloying elements in the microstructure, which reduces the corrosion resistance. Consequently, an accurate knowledge of the sensitization behavior is indispensable for the use of nickel-free, high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steels. The relationship between artificial aging, phase formation and corrosion resistance was investigated on the alloys X8CrMnN18-19 (1.3815) and X8CrMnMoN18-19-2 (1.4456), both alloyed with 0,8 wt.-% Nitrogen, in the present work. The microstructural evolution was studied by LM and SEM while the corrosion resistance was characterized with the electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (EPR) and the KorroPad indicator-test. Both alloys showed increased corrosion susceptibility within critical aging parameters. Finally, a sensitization diagram was described successfully for both alloys showing the positive effect of molybdenum.
