Abstract
In this study, we investigated the transformation kinetics of martensite → reverted austenite in 18 wt.% grade 300 Ni maraging steel. The kinetics was evaluated based on the in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction data collected during isothermal heat treatment at 570°C. The onset of transformation martensite → reverted austenite was detected after ~ 5 min of aging. The austenite fraction increased as a function of annealing time and reached approximately 30 vol.% after 3 h of heat treatment. The electron backscatter diffraction technique revealed that reverted austenite is formed preferentially on both the martensitic lath boundaries and sub-grain boundaries inside the laths, in particular in those with high Taylor factor values. The reverted austenite maintains an orientation relationship with the prior austenite; however, variant selection can take place.
