摘要
Mn is a weak element for austenite formation and its effect on martensitic stainless steel is seldom researched. The microstructure and property of 13Cr martensitic stainless steel with varied Mn content and low carbon content were studied. The research demonstrates that Mn enlarges the austenitic zone at a high temperature and increases the strength and hardness of martensitic stainless steel. Following the addition of Mn,the corrosion resistance property of low carbon 13Cr stainless steel only decreases slightly. The strength and hardness of low carbon 13Cr stainless steel containing Mn is similar to that of high carbon 13Cr stainless steel.
