Aged microstructure of the HP stainless steel, modified with 1%Nb, cast fitting, tubular, operating for 6 years in a furnace which design temperature is 1100°C. The material presented a network of primary carbides, white and grey, and an austenitic matrix with coalescing secondary precipitation. Some voids. The Vickers identation indicates a hardness value about 260HV 100g in the aged austenitic matrix.

Micrographic detail of the nut longitudinal section presenting the large carbides (white islands) in the segregation band, and small precipitates all through the martensite matrix, indicating that this high carbon steel was tempered in a high temperature. The 36HRc hardness also confirms this high tempering temperature.
