The precipitation behavior of Z -phase was investigated during long-term aging at 650°C in an ultra low carbon 9 Cr ferritic/martensitic heat resistant steel. The steel was prepared by vacuum induction melting followed by hot forging and rolling into a plate. The plate was normalized at 1100°C for 1h, cooled in air and tempered at 700°C for 1h. Bimodal nano-sized MX precipitates distribute densely and homogeneously in the matrix within martensitic lath after normalizing-and-tempering heat treatment. After aging at 650°C for 1200h, the Z -phase was found to nucleate on the larger nano-sized MX. The Z -phase and MX have the following orientation relationship: <112> Z - phase //<001> MX and [Formula: see text].

ABSTRACTThe creep behavior of a new type of austenitic heat-resistant steel Fe-20Cr-30Ni-2Nb (at.%), strengthened by intermetallic Fe2Nb Laves phase, has been examined. Particular attention has been given to the role of grain boundary Laves phase in the strengthening mechanism during long-term creep. The creep resistance increases with increasing area fraction (ρ) of grain boundary Laves phase according to equation ε/ε = (1−ρ), where ε0 is the creep rate at ρ = 0. In addition, the creep rupture life is also extended with increasing ρ without ductility loss, which can yield up to 77% of elongation even at ρ = 89%. Microstructure analysis revealed local deformation and well-developed subgrains formation near the grain boundary free from precipitates, while dislocation pile-ups were observed near the grain boundary Laves phase. Thus, the grain boundary Laves phase is effective in suppressing the local deformation by preventing dislocation motion, and thereby increases the long-term creep rupture strength. This novel creep strengthening mechanism was proposed as “grain boundary precipitation strengthening mechanism” (GBPS).

AbstractA new kind of martensitic ZG1Cr10MoWVNbN heat-resistant steel has been attracted more attentions in recent years, which is mainly applied in ultra-supercritical steam turbines. The ageing property for ZG1Cr10MoWVNbN heat-resistant steel is very important because it often serves for long-time at high-temperature environment. Herein, a long-term ageing heat treatment was conducted on ZG1Cr10MoWVNbN steel at 600 °C heat for 17,000 hours. The microstructure evolution and property variation of the ZG1Cr10MoWVNbN steel were analysed before and after ageing, and also the effect of the precipitates on the mechanical properties was studied. The result showed that strength, the plastic index and impact power of the ZG1Cr10MoWVNbN steel were gradually decreased after long-term and high-temperature ageing at 600 °C due to the changes of martensite morphology and the coarsening of M23C6 carbide precipitation phase. Furthermore, fine precipitation of matrix MX carbide can also attribute to the change of mechanical properties at high temperature.
