Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There are provided a precipitation strengthening type martensitic steel having both a tensile strength of a 1500 MPa class and a high Charpy absorption energy of 30 J or higher, and a manufacturing process thereof. The precipitation strengthening type martensitic steel includes, in terms of mass %, 0.05% or less of C, 0.2% or less of Si, 0.4% or less of Mn, 7.5 to 11.0% of Ni, 10.5 to 13.5% of Cr, 1.75 to 2.5% of Mo, 0.9 to 2.0% of Al, less than 0.1% of Ti, and a remainder of Fe and impurities, and contains 0.1 to 6.0% of austenite in terms of a volume fraction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for producing a precipitation strengthening martensitic steel comprising, in terms of mass %, 0.05% or less of C, 0.2% or less of Si, 0.4% or less of Mn, 7.5 to 11.0% of Ni, 10.5 to 13.5% of Cr, 1.75 to 2.5% of Mo, 0.9 to 2.0% of Al, less than 0.1% of Ti, and a remainder of Fe and impurity elements, an amount of each impurity element being less than 0.05%, wherein solution treatment is performed at 800 to 950° C. followed by aging treatment performed on the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel containing 0.1 to 5.0% of austenite in terms of a volume fraction, to obtain the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel having an austenite volume fraction of 2.0 to 6.0%, a tensile strength of 1500 MPa or higher, and an absorption energy obtained by a Charpy impact test of 30 J or higher. 2. The process for producing the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel according to claim 1 , wherein the aging treatment is performed at 490 to 540° C. 3. The process for producing the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel according to claim 1 , wherein the aging treatment is performed for more than 6 hours. 4. The process for producing the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel according to claim 2 , wherein the aging treatment is performed for more than 6 hours. 5. The process for producing the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel according to claim 1 , wherein the solution treatment is performed, followed by the aging treatment performed on the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel containing 1.0 to 5.0% of austenite in terms of a volume fraction. 6. The process for producing the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel according to claim 2 , wherein the solution treatment is performed, followed by the aging treatment performed on the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel containing 1.0 to 5.0% of austenite in terms of a volume fraction. 7. The process for producing the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel according to claim 3 , wherein the solution treatment is performed, followed by the aging treatment performed on the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel containing 1.0 to 5.0% of austenite in terms of a volume fraction. 8. The process for producing the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel according to claim 4 , wherein the solution treatment is performed, followed by the aging treatment performed on the precipitation strengthening martensitic steel containing 1.0 to 5.0% of austenite in terms of a volume fraction.
