The microstructure evolution of 17-4 precipitation hardening (17-4PH) stainless steel during long-term aging at 350 degrees C was studied mainly by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the matrix is lath martensite and the precipitation of nano-metric particles of epsilon-Cu phase after the alloy has been subjected to solution and temper treatment. When the alloy is aged at 350 degrees C to 9 months, some reversed austenite is formed and the epsilon-Cu precipitates are coarsening according to ripening process. When the alloy aged from 9 to 12 months, some bulk secondary carbides, M23C6, are precipitated. With the age time extended to 15 months, an amount of reversed austenite is transformed and the G-phase, a kind of intermetallic compound, precipitation occurs nearby the epsilon-Cu precipitates in the matrix at this intermediate temperature.
