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.

The changes of the microstructure and mechanical properties of T23 steel were investigated during high temperature aging at 625 °C up to 3000 h. The results showed that the bainitic lath microstructure first decreased and then totally disappeared with the increase of aging time, the size of the carbides gradually increased and the recovery occurred after aging for 1000 h. The contents of W, Mo elements in the matrix after aging for 3000 h were remarkably decreased by 27.6% and 45% compared with the as-received state. However, no M6C carbides formed in spite of the obvious desolution transformation of W, Mo. Both the yield strength and the tensile strength at room and high temperature were decreased with the increase of aging time at 625 °C, and the tensile strength at high temperature after aging for 3000 h exhibited the largest of decline compared with the as-received state. The main reasons for the decrease of the mechanical properties related to the microstructure variations, such as the size increase of the M23C6 carbides, the dissolution of the bainite lath microstructure and the occurrence of the recovery. Meanwhile, the desolution of W, Mo elements plays an important role in the decrease of the mechanical properties.

T92 heat-resistant steel is among the most promising candidate materials for structural components in the Generation IV (GEN-IV) reactors. The effects of tempering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the T92 steel were studied. The microstructural evolution of the T92 steel subjected to various temperatures of the tempering process were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD). The mechanical properties of Vickers hardness, tensile test, and impact test were also investigated. The results showed that the grain size of the prior austenite does not significantly change during the tempering process, while the width of the martensite lath and the size of the carbide precipitates increased with increasing tempering temperature. The hardness and yield strength of the T92 steel decreased, and the plasticity and impact energy increased with increasing tempering temperature. Coarsening of the carbide precipitates during the tempering process was considered to be the dominant factor that reduced the yield strength in the T92 steel.
