Effect of N on microstructure and mechanical properties of 16Cr5Ni1Mo martensitic stainless steel

The effect of adding N (about 0.1% in mass) to low carbon 16Cr5Ni1Mo martensitic stainless steel by adding nitride ferroalloy under argon protective atmospheric of near normal pressure on phase transformation and microstructure of steels subjected to normalizing and tempering was investigated by using dilatometer, laser scanning confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, and its consequence on mechanical …
