The invention discloses ultrahigh-strength
martensitic stainless steel and a preparation method thereof. The ultrahigh-strength
martensitic stainless steel is high in yield strength, high in tensile strength, good in
ductility and good in
impact toughness. The preparation method comprises the steps as follows: Step 1, a
raw material is prepared from stainless steel components in percentage by weight according to the burnt value, is smelted in the vacuum environment and is poured to form a steel
ingot; the steel
ingot is prepared from components in percentage by weight as follows: 0.10%-0.25% of C, 11.0%-17.0% of Cr, 0.5%-2.0% of Mn, 1.1%-3.0% of Si, 0.1%-4.0% of Ni, 0.1%-0.3% of Cu, less than or equal to 0.02% of P, less than or equal to 0.02% of S and the balance of Fe and inevitable
impurity elements; Step 2,
forging of the steel
ingot is started at 1,050-1,200 DEG C, the finish
forging temperature ranges from 880 DEG C to 920 DEG C, the
forging ratio is larger than or equal to 5, and
air cooling is performed after forging; Step 3, a forging is subjected to heat preservation at 950-1,050 DEG C for 2-4 h, is subjected to water
quenching and then is tempered at 200-300 DEG C for 2-4 h, and the ultrahigh-strength
martensitic stainless steel is obtained after natural cooling.
