Two types of secondary hardening martensitic steels, 10Co-14Ni and 6Co-5Ni, were produced by vacuum induction melting to investigate the effect of ausforming process on mechanical properties. According to the results of present study, the alloy samples ausformed at low temperature indicated a rather low hardness level in overall aging time despite the refinement of martensite lath width. As the result can closely be related with the presence of primary carbides precipitated within the initial austenite matrix, we confirmed that, in ultrahigh strength secondary hardening martensitic alloy steels, the ausforming process can rather limit the degree of secondary hardening during the subsequent aging treatment.

In order to compare mechanical properties of ausformed martensite with those of marformed martemsite in Fe-30%Ni-0.1%C alloy and to investigate their strengthening mechanisms, ausformed martensite and marformed martensite were prepared by ausforming treatment and marforming treatment respectively. The microstructures were observed and the quantities of retained austenite, hardness, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation were examined. The strength of ausformed martensite was mainly increased because of the lattice defects inherited from austenite. The ductility of ausformed martensite was constant at the rate of 7-8% by ductile matrix formation of the retained austenite in spite of the increase in strength. The strength of marformed martensite was increased by the increment in dislocation density, the crossing of transformation twin with deformation twin and the mutual crossing of deformation twin. The ductility of mar formed martensite was slightly lower than that of ausformed martensite, but the strength of mar formed martensite was prominently higher.

The effect of thermomechanical treatment on thermal expantion and melting point of Fe-30%Ni-0.35%C alloy was investigated. The dimention changes of the ausformed martensite and the marformed martensite were decreased with increasing deformation degree in the range of $25{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ prior to reverse transformation but became larger in the range of $500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ after the reverse transformation. The dimension change and the thermal expansion coefficient were reduced in the order of the deformed austenite, the marformed martensite and the ausformed martensite in the range of $25{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the ausforming treatment is more effective than the marforming treatment in improving the heat-resistance. The melting points of the deformed austenite, the ausformed martensite and the marformed martensite were lowered as either the heating rate or the degree of deformation was increased.
