AB  - Microstructural modification of high chromium cast irons (HCCI) through the 
      precipitation of secondary carbides (SC) during destabilization treatments is 
      essential for improving their tribological response. However, there is not a 
      clear consensus about the first stages of the SC precipitation and how both the 
      heating rate (HR) and destabilization temperature can affect the nucleation and 
      growth of SC. The present work shows the microstructural evolution, with a 
      special focus on the SC precipitation, in a HCCI (26 wt% Cr) during heating up to 
      800, 900, and 980  degrees C. It was seen that the HR is the most dominant factor 
      influencing the SC precipitation as well as the matrix transformation in the 
      studied experimental conditions. Finally, this work reports for first time in a 
      systematic manner, the precipitation of SC during heating of the HCCI, providing 
      a further understanding on the early stages of the SC precipitation and the 
      associated microstructural modifications.
