“…It increases the hardness and temper resistance of the steel and facilitates the formation of secondary chromium rich alloy carbides of type M 23 C 6 & M 7 C 3 . The precipitation of carbides in the alloy during tempering is time dependent, which involves precipitation of M 3 C followed by M 7 C 3 & M 23 C 6 type carbides [3][4][5][6].…”

Martensitic grade stainless steels are being extensively used in aerospace, defence and nuclear sectors for structural applications. Specialized applications require close control in chemistry and heat treatment parameters. Control of carbon in AISI-420, alloying content has typical service advantages. To study the effect of tempering temperature with carbon content on mechanical properties, various heat treatment cycles were devised, avoiding the regime of temper embrittlement. This paper presents the tempering response of medium carbon stainless steel AISI-420 grade with respect to change in carbon content from 0.2% to 0.3%. It is observed that, by varying the tempering temperature, the grade can be tailored to obtain wide range of mechanical properties. With increasing carbon content, martensite is found to be changing in morphology from lath to lath & plate (mixed) and the amount of retained austenite also increases. An attempt has been also made to arrive at a structure-property correlation in this grade of stainless steel.
