Metallographic examination, depth-sensing microhardness and modulus of Eurofer'97

Two halves of Charpy specimens of Eurofer’97 were examined by metallographic analysis, depth-sensing microhardness, Vickers hardness testing and ultrasonic pulse echo technique. The microstructure of the examined specimens of Eurofer’97 was found to be fine-grained and fully martensitic. Indentation hardness increases with decreasing load (indentation size effect). Eurofer’97 is elastically isotropic.
