Abstract
In this paper, quantifications of the austenitic phase in a maraging 300 steel heat treated at different temperatures and periods of time were carried out using the direct comparison method by X-ray diffraction. The influence of taking into account the chemical compositions of austenite and martensite phases in the results by the direct comparison method was evaluated. In order to analyze the instability of austenite under plastic deformation, the quantifications were carried out with and without previous grinding of the samples. The behavior of the austenite volume fraction against aging time at 560°C, 600°C and 650°C were determined. The variation of the martensite lattice parameter with aging time was also analyzed. The results show an increase of the austenite content with aging time at 560°C and 600°C. At 650°C, however, the austenite content present at room temperature decreases and the martensite parameter increases with the aging time above 1 h.
