Abstract: Thermodynamic characteristics of carbide precipitation in high molybdenum non-magnetic steel were calculated by using Thermal-Calc thermodynamic calculation software. The effect of aging temperature, isothermal deformation+aging temperature on the precipitation behavior of the tested steel was discussed by means of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and other equipment, and the impact test was carried out. The results show that the precipitation phase is mainly produced at the grain boundary, and the temperature sensitive to precipitation of the tested steel is 700-900 ℃. After aging at 800 ℃ for 1 h, the formation of precipitates can be clearly observed at the grain boundaries of the tested steel, which are granular. Compared with no deformation, the precipitates are formed in large quantities under deformation conditions, the shape is strip-like, and the grain boundaries are obviously thickened. Compared with the aged specimens, the deformation before aging significantly shortens the incubation time of the precipitates and promotes the growth of the precipitates. After isothermal deformation+aging, the impact performance is significantly reduced, and the fracture mode is ductile fracture.
