Two different hot work tool steels, QRO 90 and QRO 80N were investigated using atom probe tomography. QRO 90 is a commercial alloy while the other QRO 80N is an experimental test alloy. The main composition of QRO 90 is 0.38C-2.6Cr-2.3Mo-0.9V-0.75Mn (wt%) whereas QRO 80N has the composition 0.38C-1.7Cr-2.7Mo-1.2V-1.1Mn-0.044N (wt%). Hence the main difference between both materials is the nitrogen
