Abstract

Microstructural and mechanical studies have been performed in a high Cr martensitic steel Firth-Vickers (FV535) to analyze the tempering of martensite. Nanoindentation technique was used to determine the hardness and elastic modulus through systematic measurements on martensite and tempered martensite. On the other hand, microscopic studies were carried out to analyze the material in the same condition as received and subsequently observe the microstructural modifications after heat treatment. The precipitation presented in the last stage of tempering was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The results showed the effect of the martensite decomposition on the mechanical and nanomechanical properties of FV535.
