Sumario:This work analyzed the phase transformations that occur in the 2.25Cr-1Mosteel during their heat treatment and operation at 550 °C. This steel is widely applied to the manufacture of industrial components for petrochemical and power plants. The Thermo-Cal software enabled us to predict the formation of the following phases: ferrite and M23C6 y M6C carbides, and the following microconstituents: ferrite and bainite during the normalizing and tempering treatments. The Thermo-Calc calculated results. TTT diagram agrees well with the experimental results of the as-received steel. On the other hand, the TC-Prisma module was used to follow the growth kinetics of M6C and M23C6 carbides at 550 °C for times up to 1000 h. The calculated resulted permitted to establish the precipitation sequence and coarsening kinetics, which agree with the experimental results. Likewise, the effect of microstructure changes on the mechanical properties is also presented
