It was found that the amount of retained austenite significantly increases with growing nickel concentration. On the other hand, the cooling rate at quenching makes a difference only if the cooling is intensive, then amount of retained austenite decrease. A higher nickel content improves the mechanical properties. With more intensive cooling, the tensile strength decreases while the yield strength increases. The ductility is not significantly affected by the cooling intensity.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of Heat Treatment and Nickel Content on the Properties of the GX4CrNi13-4 Steel}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/117785/PDF/AMM-2021-1-05-Kana.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2021.134756}, keywords={Martensitic steel, retained austenite, mechanical properties, heat treatment}, }
