摘要
Effect of the heat treatment, including solution treatment （ST） and aging treatment （AT）, on the prior austenite grain （PAG） size, microstructure and mechanical properties of a precipitation hardening maraging stainless steel was investigated. The results indicate that the relations between PAG size and yield strength （σy） under both ST and AT conditions obey the HalI-Petch relationship. Furthermore, after ST at 1050℃ for 1 h＋cryogenic treated （CT） at -70℃ for 8 h＋AT at 535℃ for 4 h, the tested steel showed its ultimate tensile strength （σb） and σy over 1900 MPa and 1750 MPa, respectively.
