Abstract
Temper embrittlement dynamics were experimentally studied in an industrial steel 12Cr1MoV. Results showed that both the concentration of phosphorus atoms in grain boundaries and the degree of embrittlement reaches a maximum at the critical time. It can be satisfactorily elucidated by the temper embrittlement mechanism of non-equilibrium grain boundary segregation caused by cooling from solution temperature to isothermal holding temperature. An embrittlement prediction method for steel in service is proposed based on this mechanism.
