This study investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of the wide-gap region brazed with various powder mixing ratios of additive powder (IN738) to filler metal powder (DF4B). The wide-gap brazing process was carried out in a vacuum of 2×10-5 torr at 1230°C for 1 hr. The microstructure of the brazed region was analyzed by FESEM and AES. The wide-gap region brazed with 60wt.% IN738 additive powder and 40 wt.% DF 4B filler metal powder had a microstructure consisting of Ni solid solution + γ' and (Cr, W)2B. The fracture strength of the wide-gap region brazed with 60 wt.% IN738 additive and 40 wt.% DF 4B powder was as high as 832 MPa at room temperature. It was found that the (Cr, W)2B and pores in the brazed region are important microstructural factors affecting the mechanical properties of the wide-gap brazed region.

Mechanical properties, such as hardness and impact toughness, of ferrite-containing stainless steels are greatly affected by long-term aging at intermediate temperatures. It is known that the α-α′ spinodal decomposition occurring in the iron–chromium-based ferrite is responsible for this aging susceptibility. This decomposition can be characterized unambiguously by atom probe analysis, allowing comparison both with the existing theories of spinodal decomposition and the evolution of some mechanical properties. It is then possible to predict the evolution of hardness of industrial components during service, based on the detailed knowledge of the involved aging process.
