    Abstract

    Precipitation mechanism of σ-phase in austenitic high-nitrogen steel (HNS) upon aging was investigated using electron microscopy and thermodynamic calculation. The precipitation sequence was found to be grain boundary Cr 2N, cellular Cr2N and σ-phase with aging time. It was concluded that the nitrogen-depleted zone near Cr2N induces the nucleation of σ-phase.
