The invention relates to a heat treatment process for a low-temperature application
precipitation hardening
martensitic stainless steel forge piece. The heat treatment process comprises the following steps: S1, blanking; s2, upsetting and
punching are carried out; s3, ring rolling is conducted, specifically, the blank is heated to 1100-1150 DEG C before rolling, heat preservation is conducted, and a
forge piece is cooled after rolling is completed; s4,
solid solution is conducted, specifically, the
forge piece is heated to 830-850 DEG C for heat preservation, and then the forge piece is cooled; and S5, aging is conducted, specifically, the forge piece is subjected to first-step aging firstly, the forge piece is heated and heated to 480-700 DEG C for heat preservation and then cooled to the
room temperature, and the forge piece is heated and heated to 480-700 DEG C for heat preservation in the second-step aging. The method has the advantages that the content of inverted
austenite is increased through first-step aging,
precipitation of
NiAl and Ni3Ti is enhanced through second-step aging, and the fracture performance of the material is improved.
