The phase transformation and the carbide precipitation temperatures of the high chromium cast iron with Cr content of 15% were measured by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The matrix and the type of carbides of the specimen after quenching were determined by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) in this work. Meanwhile, the shape and the number of carbides in the different specimens were detected by using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) & energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The equilibrium phase of this high chromium cast iron was calculated by using Thermo-Calc software based on above experiments. The calculation results obtained from Thermo-Calc software is agreed with the ones from experiments. The work provides a practical method for engineers and researchers in related areas.
