Microstructure and phase distribution of innovative Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel based on Fe-Cr-ZrO2 particularly for application at high temperature reactor with variation of Cr content was analysed. The alloy was synthesized with Cr composition variation of  15, 20 and 25 wt.% Cr, while zirconia dispersoid kept constant at 0.50 wt.%. The samples was synthesized by mechanical alloying comprising of high energy milling for 3 hours followed by vibrated compression with iso-static load at 20 ton. The final consolidation was performed via sintering process for 4 minutes using the Arc Plasma Sintering (APS) technique, a new method developed in BATAN especially for synthesizing high temperature materials. The samples were then characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersed X-ray (EDX) analysis capability and X-ray diffraction. The mechanical property of hardness was measured using standard Vickers micro hardness tester to confirmed the microstructure analysis.  The results show that the microstructure of the ODS alloy samples in all variation of Cr content consists generally of cubic Fe-Cr matrix phase with small of porosity and  Zirconia particles distributed homogenously in and around the matrix grains. The achievable hardness was between 142 and 184 HVN dependent consistently on Cr content in which Cr element may cause grain refining that in turn increase the hardness.

Three model powders defined as MP powders (milled pre-alloyed powders), mixed powders (MX, 50 wt.% MP powders + 50 wt.% Oxide-Dispersion Strengthened powders) and Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) powders (alloyed pre-alloyed powders with the addition of Ti and Y2O3) are obtained under identical ball milling parameters. These powders are then consolidated under same sintering condition by spark plasma sintering (SPS) in order to investigate the formation mechanism of martensite lath in the MP steel and the effect of Ti on the stability of ferrite. The results indicate that the addition of Y2O3 and Ti powders can act as friction material during the mechanical alloying process, thus promoting the refinement effect. The formation of martensite lath in the MP steel is attributed to the local Cr depletion resulted from the large amounts of M23C6 precipitation. Ti possesses a strong affinity to C and long range diffusion ability, which efficiently prevents the martensite lath formation and local Cr depletion. Present study supports the conclusion that the lack of martensite in the MX and ODS steel is due to the addition of Ti. Secondary phases in these steels are identified and analyzed as well.

ABSTRACTThe microstructure of an oxide dispersion strengthened FeAl (Zr,B) alloy, manufactured by mechanical alloying then extrusion, has been examined by HREM. Y2O3 is dispersed throughout the FeAl matrix as particles, ranging in size from 5nm upwards, which are effective in pinning the bulk dislocations. Although in the main the observed oxide particles are irregular in morphology, a significant minority of particles exhibit faceted surfaces. In particular, the facets of the Y2O3 particles are observed to coincide with {100}B2, {110}B2 and {112}B2 planes of the surrounding bulk FeAl matrix. In addition, HREM imaging reveals uncoupled 1/2<111>FeAl superpartial dislocations lying a few nanometres from some of the FeAl - Y2O3 interfaces.

AbstractA high chromium ferritic Oxide Dispersion Strengthened steel was produced by mechanical alloying of Fe-18Cr-1W-0.3Ti-0.3Ni-0.15Si and 0.5% Y2O3 (wt.%) powders in industrial attritor, followed by hot extrusion at 1100°C. The material was characterized by Atom Probe Tomography on each step of manufacturing process: as-milled powder and in final hot extruded state. In addition, to get information on clustering kinetics the powder was also characterized after annealing at 850°C during 1 hour. Atom Probe Tomography revealed that the oxide dispersion strengthened steel Fe-18Cr contains nanometer scale yttrium- and oxygen-enriched nanoclusters in as-milled state. Their evolution is shown after subsequent annealing and hot extrusion. More well defined nanophases also enriched in Ti are observed. A mechanism of their formation is proposed. Mechanical alloying results in supersaturated solid solution with presence of small Y- and O-enriched clusters. Subsequent annealing stimulates incorporation of Ti to the nucleii that were previously formed during mechanical alloying.
