An investigation has been made on the effects of the annealing conditions and cooling rates on the Charpy impact value and the other mechanical properties of Ti and Nb stabilized low C, N-19%Cr-2%Mo stainless steel sheets. The precipitation of Laves phase has a great influence upon the mechanical properties of the steel. Therefore its precipitation behavior has been investigated in connection with the manufacturing process. On the basis of these studies, the best process has been proposed.
