Conclusions 1. Metastable α′, α″, and βM phases are formed in alloy VT9 after quenching and cooling in air. Depending on the ratio of these phases, their dispersity, and the shape of the precipitates, the properties may vary within a broad range. The highest strength characteristics (σb = 140 kgf/mm2, σ0.2 = 125 kgf/mm2) with satisfactory ductility (δ=10%, ψ=25%) are obtained after quenching in water from 950° (1 h) and aging at 530° for 2 h, followed by air cooling. The lowest strength characteristics (σb = 105 kgf/mm2, σ0.2 = 75 kgf/mm2) and highest ductility are obtained by water quenching from 850–900° (1 h). 2. The highest strength of alloy VT9 results from decomposition of the martensitic α″ phase during aging. The formation of equilibrium α and β phases as the result of aging of βM and α′ phases strengthens the alloy less, although the absolute values of the strength characteristics are high.
