1.2379 | X153CrMoV12 +QT
| Numeric designation | 1.2379 | 
|---|---|
| Chemical designation | X153CrMoV12 | 
| State | +QT | 
| Etching | 3% Nital und PAG QT² | 
The micrographs show the tempered state. The primary carbides are arranged in rows.
Locally there are carbide-free segregation zones (macro-etching on fibre course with PAG QT²). This sample comes from a test gauge. These are pendulum annealed for days after tempering in order to reduce possible machining stresses.
Heat treatment parameters:
- 1060 °C solution annealing temperature
 - Hardened in a vacuum
 - Deep-freezing -196 °C
 - Tempered 4 times at 520 °C
 - Pendulum annealing 150 °C for 120h
