Abstract: Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of 20Cr1Mo1VTiB bolt steel aged at 530 ℃ for 10 000 h at most were studied. The results show that during the aging process, the MC phases are mainly precipitated and distributed in the bainite laths and at the lath boundaries, and the precipitated amount of MC phases increases but the size does not show significant coarsening. With the increase of aging time, the bainite lath boundaries become blurred gradually and the lath width of bainite increases. After aging for up to 10 000 h at 530 ℃, the strength of the 20Cr1Mo1VTiB bolt steel has no significant change at room temperature and high temperature, the impact property at low temperature increases, and the microstructure recovery effect is obvious, indicating that the steel has good microstructure stability at 530 ℃.
