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.

Heat-resistant steel (12%wt. Cr) used in the ultra supercritical set blade was quenched and tempered by vacuum heat treatment furnace, the mechanical properties and metallographic structures at room temperature can meet the specific requirements. However, there are some problems existed on high-temperature short-time lasting performance. To improve the high temperature endurance performance of materials, the experimental testing and analysis were carried out fro different types of specimen. The research showed that short-time rupture is a kind of creep fracture, and short lasting strength was closely related to test temperatures between laths and grain boundary and carbide coarsening. Energy spectrum analysis revealed that cast in the hole had high B element content (19.98%wt.), which meant grain boundaries of the B at high temperature began to migrate and form in the crystal B in that second phase particles are contained, and grain boundary strength was obviously decreased. The enduring high temperature experiment indicated that the strength were declined rapidly and fractured suddenly at high temperature.
