Microstructure of the steel X20CrMoV12.1, used for thermal power plants, after tempering at approximately 500 °C consists of tempered martensite with carbide precipitates. The evolution of the chemical and phase composition of carbide precipitates in X20CrMoV12.1 steel was studied in the as‐received state after 56 000 h at 470–530 °C under load and in heat‐treated state (1–1344 h at 800 °C) using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. The precipitates found in service‐loaded state as well as in heat‐treated state were of M 23 C 6 type. In all samples two morphologically different types of carbides were established.
