Cast duplex stainless steels of CF8M and CF8 are used in major components because of their superior characteristics, such as corrosion resistance, weldability, and so on. However, these stainless steels are known to have tendency of thermal aging embrittlement after long term service. Therefore, the mechanical properties have been investigated using tensile test specimens and fracture toughness specimens aged at 300 to 450°C for up to 40,000 hours. From the results, the effects of thermal aging on the mechanical properties of these cast duplex stainless steels were identified. The true stress-true strain curve prediction method (TSS model) and fracture toughness prediction method (H3T model) after long term service were established. These prediction methods are used for the evaluation on the plant life management of nuclear power plants in Japan.

Cast duplex stainless steel (CDSS) components suffer embrittlement after long-term thermal aging. The deformation and fracture behaviors of un-aged and thermally aged (at 400 °C for 20,000 h) CDSS were investigated using in situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tensile strength of CDSS had a small increase, and the tensile fracture changed from ductile to brittle after thermal aging. Observations using in situ SEM indicated that the initial cracks appeared in the ferrite perpendicular to the loading direction after the macroscopic stress exceeded a critical value. The premature fracture of ferrite grains caused stress on the phase boundaries, leading the cracks to grow into austenite. The cleavage fracture of ferrite accelerated the shearing of austenite and reduced the plasticity of the thermally aged CDSS.
