Effect Of Temperature

1Cr12Mo martensitic stainless steel is widely used for intermediate and low-pressure steam turbine blades in fossil-fuel power plants. A nickel-based filler metal (SFA-5.8 BNi-2) was used to braze 1Cr12Mo in an Ar atmosphere. The influence of brazing temperature and hold time on the joints was studied. Microstructure of the joints brazed, element distribution and shear stress were evaluated at different brazing temperatures, ranging from 1050 °C to 1120 °C, with holding times of 10 s, 30 s, 50 s and 90 s. The results show that brazing joints mainly consist of the matrix of the braze alloy, the precipitation, and the diffusion affected zone. The filler metal elements diffusion is more active with increased brazing temperature and prolonged hold time. The shear strength of the brazed joints is greater than 250 MPa when the brazing temperature is 1080 °C and the hold time is 30 s.

Microstructure Changes

Abstract Martensitic grade stainless steel is generally used to manufacture steam turbine blades in power plants. The material degradation of those turbine blades, due to fatigue, will induce unexpected equipment damage. Fatigue cracks, too small to be detected, can grow severely in the next operating cycle and may cause failure before the next inspection opportunity. Therefore, a nondestructive electromagnetic technique, which is sensitive to microstructure changes in the material, is needed to provide a means to estimate the specimen’s fatigue life. To tackle these challenges, this paper presents a novel Magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) technique for garnering information relating to the material microstructure changes under test. The MBN signals are analyzed in time as well as frequency domain to infer material information that are influenced by the samples’ mate- rial state. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to reduce the dimensionality of feature data and extract higher order features. Afterwards, Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) classifies the sample based on the percentage fatigue life to discover the most correlated MBN features to indicate the remaining fatigue life. Furthermore, one criticism of MBN is its poor repeatability and stability, therefore, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is carried out to analyze the uncertainty associated with MBN measurements. The feasibility of MBN technique is investigated in detecting early stage fatigue, which is associated with plastic deformation in ferromagnetic metallic structures. Experimental results demonstrate that the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise technique is a promising candidate for characterizing.

The analysis of the influence of lithium on wetting properties of Ag-Cu brazing alloys and the shear strength of stainless steel/braze/stainless steel joint was conducted. The brazing alloys of designations and composition according to ANSI/AWS A5.8: BAg-8a (71÷3 wt.% Ag, 0.25÷0.50 wt.% Li, Cu) and BAg-19 (92÷93 wt.% Ag, 0.15÷0.30 wt.% Li, Cu) and a braze alloy containing 70÷72 wt.% Ag, 0.6÷0.7 wt.% Li and Cu were subjected to the investigations. The wettability properties of the brazing silver alloys were examined in a spread test. The shear strength of joints were measured on the joints of stainless steel in the tensile test. The comparison of results showed a beneficial effect of lithium on the spreading properties and the wettability of braze alloys as well as the quality and shear strength of the brazed joints. The observed slag inclusions in the solid braze did not affect considerably the mechanical properties of the prepared joints because of the intensive deoxidation of the brazing surfaces of stainless steel elements.

The application of martensitic stainless steel in gas turbine blades, bushings, valves and mine ladder rungs requires wear and corrosion resistant surfaces. The process of boronizing can produce extremely hard and wear resistant surfaces for such components. The study depicts the application of Taguchi based desirability analysis for parameter design in the process of boronizing martensitic stainless steel. The surface hardness, diffusion depth and wear loss were observed on samples subjected to slurry paste boronizing (SPB). During experimentation, the parameters varied include the boronizing temperature, boronizing time and paste thickness. The optimal setting of the boronizing parameters identified by Taguchi based desirability analysis (TDA) was observed to improve the quality characteristics studied in the process significantly. The duration of boronizing process was found to play a major role in controlling the diffusion depth and the formation of a mono phasic (FeB) layer on the surface was found to be the reason for improved hardness and wear resistance.

Brazed Joint

The microstructure and properties of a Cu/304 stainless steel dissimilar metal joint brazed with a low silver Ag16.5CuZnSn-xGa-yCe braze filler after aging treatment were investigated. The results indicated that the addition of Ce could reduce the intergranular penetration depth of the filler metal into the stainless steel during the aging process. The minimum penetration depth in the Ag16.5CuZnSn-0.15Ce brazed joint was decreased by 48.8% compared with the Ag16.5CuZnSn brazed joint. Moreover, the shear strength of the brazed joint decreased with aging time while the shear strength of the AgCuZnSn-xGa-yCe joint was still obviously higher than the Ag16.5CuZnSn joint after a 600 h aging treatment. The fracture type of the Ag16.5CuZnSn-xGa-yCe brazed joints before aging begins ductile and turns slightly brittle during the aging process. Compared to all the results, the Ag16.5CuZnSn-2Ga-0.15Ce brazed joints show the best performance and could satisfy the requirements for cost reduction and long-term use.

Modern societies expect and depend on regular, relatively uninterrupted, supply of electric power. Preventive maintenance is therefore vital for power generating plants. Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is a significant element of the maintenance programme of power plants. Power plants use a wide variety of steam and gas turbines. Turbine failure can occur without warning and with disastrous results. Such failures are invariably caused by cracks. Such defects are readily detected by NDE techniques such as Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) if they are on or near the surface and accessible. This paper reports on the use of MPI in the examination of martensitic stainless steel turbine blades in power plants in Trinidad and Tobago so as to quantify the testing parameters and determine field strength in relation to defect detectability. Specific recommendations are made regarding the configuration and optimum placement of magnetizing coils for turbine blade inspection insitu and detached.

This study focuses on understanding the effect of Ni and Co additions to filler metals on Ag-brazed joints of cemented carbide and martensitic stainless steel. Ni and Co added braze alloys were processed based on Ag-Cu-Zn ternary alloy, and joint strength and microstructure of the brazed layer has been investigated. The joint strength increased by the 2.0mass%Ni and 0.5mass%Co addition into braze alloy. This trend is remarkable in the Co added alloy, and the brazed joint increased by 141% compared to that in no-added alloy. The joint strength was closely related to the suppression effect of Co dissolution from cemented carbide into filler layer and Fe diffusion from the stainless steel to the brazed layer. In the brazed microstructure, Co-depleted zone caused by dissolution of Co in the cemented carbide was observed near the interface between the cemented carbide and the steel. Width of the Co-depleted zone significantly decreased in the Co added alloy. However, the joint strength decreased in the multiple addition compared to that in the single addition of Ni or Co.
