Creep rupture behavior of dissimilar weldments between FB2 and 30Cr1Mo1V heat-resistant steel by multipass welding at 783 K (510°C) under different stresses (260 to 420 MPa) was researched. The fitted creep rupture exponent is 14.53, and the 10,000 h extrapolating strength values predicted by the power law and Larson-Miller parameter show good agreement with experimental data. The samples exhibit a ductile fracture character and fracture in the weld fusion zone, which has a highly heterogeneous microstructure and grains with different morphologies and sizes and an obvious softening. There exist a decrease in the dislocation and precipitate density and an increase in the subgrain size in the weld metal after creep. The rupture is a transgranular fracture characterized by dimples as a result of microvoid coalescence. Laves phases along with copper-rich precipitates are observed in the vicinity of fracture surface, which creates a stress concentration that can cause transgranular fracture initiation.

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).

Ferritic heat-resistant steel comprises basic alloys of Fe-10mass%Cr-W. This study investigates how stress, the addition of Co, and tempering before aging affect the precipitation of the Laves phase of Fe-10Cr-6W ferritic heat-resistant steel, which is used in ultra-supercritical power plants and nuclear reactor materials. The study also investigates the mechanical properties of the steel. Precipitation of the Laves phase by aging increases the tensile strength, but decreases the elongation and impact strength of the alloys. Toughness of the alloys decreases greatly as very fine disk-like Laves phases appear in early aging stage. The strength and impact value of the steel decrease when the steel is tempered before aging. This is mainly due to decrease of density and increase of the particle size in the Laves phase. Since precipitation of the Laves phase increases by addition of Co; the strength increases and the elongation and impact value decrease.
