In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of 0.63C-12.7Cr martensitic stainless steel during various tempering treatments were investigated. Experimental results demonstrate that finely distributed primary carbides can be observed in 0.6 In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of 0.63C-12.7Cr martensitic stainless steel during various tempering treatments were investigated.
