Martensitic stainless steels with a carbon content higher than 0.2wt% need to be heat-treated and quenched for the dissolution of carbides. In this study, the transformation and the corrosion characteristics of the martensitic steels are studied with different austenitizing temperatures for 0.15C- and 0.3C-14Cr-3Mo steels.
