Deep cryogenic treatment of tool steels, incorporated in conventional hardening and tempering, has been a topic intensive research recent years. Yet, the governing microstructural mechanisms involved deep high-alloyed steels are still controversial. Thus, an situ X-ray diffraction study is conducted on three X38CrMoV5-3, X153CrMoV12, ~X190CrVMo20-4 to shed light evolution during subsequent temp...
