Effect of heat treatment on the damage tolerance properties of a newly developed middle strength high damage tolerance Ti-6Al-2Zr-2V-1.5Mo ELI alloy plate has been investigated in this paper by testing fracture toughness and fatigue crack-extending rate of the plate under three heat treatment conditions and fractograph inspection of the samples. It has been found that with the increasing of the primary annealing temperature from 900°C to 950°C, the fracture toughness increased and the fatigue crack extending rate decreased significantly. Microstructural observation has found that the crack expanded through the α beaming and mainly are perpendicular to the α orientation in the lamellar structure which annealed in α+β phase zone. For the Widmanstaten structure, which can be obtained from annealing in single β phase zone, the continuous grain boundary α phase and α beaming boundary hinder the crack expanding significantly.

Ti-45.5Al-2Cr-4Nb-0.4B alloy was cast by vacuum arc melting at high purity Ar atmosphere using high purity sponge Ti, granular Al (99.99%), flake Nb (99.9%), lump Cr (99.9%) and TiB2 (99.5%) and subsequently heat-treated to obtain a couple of microstructures, i.e. lamellar and near γ. The heat treatment consisted of annealing at a high temperature (1200 ~ 1330oC) of different phase fields for 24 hrs and stabilizing at 900oC for 4 hrs followed by air cooling. Fracture toughness was measured on the specimens with different microstructures at room temperature. The value of KQ of specimen with fully lamella structure was obtained as 18.68 MPa √m, much higher than that of specimen with near γ structure (11.84 MPa √m). It was also revealed that the KQ value was decreased as the annealing temperature decreased.

Zirconia-mullite nanocomoposites were prepared from TiO2-doped Si-Al-Zr-O amorphous bulks according to a two-step heating treatment between 880 and 1250°C. Effects of TiO2 amount and heat treatment conditions on the mechanical properties have been investigated. The fracture toughness was much more affected by the heat treatment processing than by amount of TiO2. With increasing amount of TiO2 (2.5~10 wt %), the fracture toughness gradually decreases. Nucleating temperature and time and crystallization temperature and time are interrelated. The fracture toughness of the sample with 5 wt% TiO2 nucleated at 920°Cfor 2.0 h and crystallized 1150°Cfor 4.0 h is 7.48 MPa•m1/2.

9Cr-1Mo-V steel with excellent high temperature strength is one of candidate materials for advanced pressure vessels in oil-refining plants, whose process temperature is expected to be around 500°C. Although 9Cr-1Mo-V steel has been applied as boiler tube material in power generation for a few decades, it was reported that embrittlement occurred after long-term aging around 600°C which is accelerated condition for pressure vessel operation. Since pressure vessels are more sensitive in stress-concentration around crack tip than boiler tube because of its large wall thickness, fracture toughness is an important property of concern when 9Cr-1Mo-V steel is applied to pressure vessels. In this research, 9Cr-1Mo-V steel with tempered-martensitic microstructure was aged up to max. 10000 hr at 500, 550 and 600°C, and fracture toughness was evaluated after the aging by Charpy impact test. The influence of heat treatment conditions such as austenitizing, tempering and PWHT were also investigated, because the heat treatment conditions used in pressure vessels are different from those of boiler tube. In case of samples treated under the conditions for pressure vessels, Charpy impact values at 0°C were sufficient around 200J before aging, and decreased after aging depending on its conditions, and longer time and higher temperature led to more severe degradation. When the aging time at 550°C and 600°C was converted to the equivalent aging time at 500°C by Larson-Miller-equation, the impact value was estimated to keep over 50J after several decades at the operating temperature for pressure vessels. In contrast to the conditions for pressure vessels, the heat treatment conditions used in boiler tube made initial impact value decreased significantly, because tempering and PWHT were shorter than those of pressure vessels. Therefore, the samples heat treated under boiler tube conditions showed lower impact values around 50J in the earlier stage of aging. Considering all obtained results, it was suggested that the serious degradation of fracture toughness in 9Cr-1Mo-V after long term aging would not occur in actual service time for pressure vessels.
