Rotary Swaging

High-pressure sliding (HPS) and rotary swaging (RS) at room temperature were used to form severely deformed microstructures in martensitic creep-resistant P92 steel. The deformed microstructures contained markedly different ratios of low- and high-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs/HAGBs). The application of the RS method, with an imposed equivalent strain of 1.4, led to the formation of a heterogeneous microstructure with a high number of LAGBs, while the HPS method, with an imposed equivalent strain of 7.8, led to the formation of a relatively homogeneous ultrafine-grained microstructure with a significant predominance of HAGBs. Microstructure analyses after creep testing showed that the microstructure of RS- and HPS-processed P92 steel is quite stable, but a slight coarsening of subgrains and grains during creep testing can be observed. Constant load tensile creep tests at 500 °C and initial stresses ranging from 300 to 900 MPa revealed that the specimens processed by HPS exhibited higher creep strength (slower minimum creep rate) and ductility compared to the coarse-grained and RS-processed P92 steel. However, the HPS-processed P92 steel also exhibited lower values of stress exponent n than the other investigated states of P92 steel. For this reason, the differences in minimum creep rates determined for different states decrease with decreasing values of applied stress, and at applied stresses lower than 500 MPa, the creep resistance of the RS-processed state is higher than the creep resistance of the HPS-processed state.

P92 Steel

Martensitic creep-resistant P92 steel was deformed by different methods of severe plastic deformation such as rotation swaging, high-pressure sliding, and high-pressure torsion at room temperature. These methods imposed significantly different equivalent plastic strains of about 1–30. It was found that rotation swaging led to formation of heterogeneous microstructures with elongated grains where low-angle grain boundaries predominated. Other methods led to formation of ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructures with high frequency of high-angle grain boundaries. Constant load tensile creep tests at 873 K and initial stresses in the range of 50 to 300 MPa revealed that the specimens processed by rotation swaging exhibited one order of magnitude lower minimum creep rate compared to standard P92 steel. By contrast, UFG P92 steel is significantly softer than standard P92 steel, but differences in their strengths decrease with increasing stress. Microstructural results suggest that creep behavior of P92 steel processed by severe plastic deformation is influenced by the frequency of high-angle grain boundaries and grain coarsening during creep.

This paper examines the effect of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) on creep behaviour of pure aluminium, binary Al-0.2wt.%Sc alloy and ternary Al-3wt.%Mg-0.2wt.%Sc alloy. The ECAP was conducted at room temperature with a die that had a 90° angle between the channels and 8 repetitive ECAP passes followed route BC. Constant stress compression creep tests were performed at 473 K and stresses ranging between 16 to 80 MPa on ECAP materials and, for comparison purposes, on the initial coarse-grained materials. The results showed that the creep resistance of the ECAP processed Al-Sc and Al-Mg-Sc alloys was markedly deteriorated with respect to unpressed coarse-grained materials.

Abstract In this work, the effects of nano titania are investigated on mechanical, creep, and viscoelastic behaviors of epoxy resin. For this purpose, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 vol.% of TiO2 nanoparticles were mixed with thermoset epoxy resin by mechanical and ultrasonic homogenizers and then the tensile, creep, and DMTA test samples were fabricated. The results of tensile tests show that the addition of TiO2 nanopowder slightly increased the strength and Young’s modulus of epoxy resin. However, the ultimate tensile strain or the rupture strain of nanocomposites is decreased. In addition, to understand the viscoelastic behavior of nanocomposites, the DMTA and tensile creep tests have been done. Tensile creep test has been done by DMTA and universal test machine. Both results confirmed that the creep resistance of nanocomposites has extensively improved by adding the titania nanoparticles. Variations of storage modulus, loss modulus, and tan (δ) by adding TiO2 nanopowder were examined in two modes of bending and tension. Storage and loss moduli of nanocomposite are considerably increased in all the states, but the storage modulus was more sensitive to TiO2 loading intensity. Thus, test results showed that introduction of TiO2 in the epoxy resin leads to the improvement of mechanical, creep resistance, and viscoelastic properties of nanocomposites. Due to the wide applications of epoxy resins in engineering devices, this method of reinforcement can be practical and useful to overcome some limitations of epoxy resins.

Fracture Ductility

The microstructure and creep behaviour of the welded joints of P92 steel pipe were investigated in order to determine the influence of orbital heat welding technology on the creep resistance. Creep specimens were machined from the welded joints. Tensile creep tests of welded joints were performed at 873 K using different stresses. The microstructure of tested specimens was investigated by scanning electron microscope Tescan equipped with an electron-back scatter diffraction. The creep results showed that the creep fracture strain of the welded joints decreases with decreasing value of applied stress. Microstructure investigation showed that fracture behaviour of welded joints is influenced by an enhanced cavity formation at grain boundaries in the heat-affected zone causing lower fracture ductility.

ABSTRACTThe microstructural characteristics and creep behavior of two fine-grained XD TiAl alloys, Ti-45Al and 47Al–2Nb–2Mn+0.8vol%TiB2 (at%), were investigated. A nearly lamellar structure (NL) and two kinds of fully lamellar (FL) structures in both alloys were prepared by selected heat treatments. The results of microstructural examination and tensile creep tests indicate that the 45XD alloy with a NL structure possesses an inferior creep resistance due to its coarse lamellar spacing and larger amount of equiaxed γ grains at the grain boundaries, whereas the same alloy in a FL condition with fine lamellar spacing lowers the minimum creep rates. Contrary to 45XD, the 47XD alloy with a NL structure exhibits the best creep resistance. However, 47XD with a FL structure with finer lamellar spacing shows inferior creep resistance. On the basis of microstructural deformation characteristics, it is suggested that the well-interlocked grain boundary and relatively coarse colony size in FL and NL 47XD inhibit sliding and microstructural degradation at the grain boundaries during creep deformation, resulting in better creep resistance. Therefore, good microstructural stability is essential for improving the creep resistance of these alloys.

Constant stress tensile creep tests were conducted on AZ91D–20 vol.%, 25 vol.%, and 30 vol.% Al2O3-SiO2short fiber composites and on an unreinforced AZ91D matrix alloy. The creep resistance of the reinforced materials is shown to be considerably improved compared with the matrix alloy. With the increasing volume fraction of short fibers, the creep resistance of AZ91D composites is improved, and their creep threshold stresses are also increased accordingly. Because of the increasing volume fraction of short fibers, loads of bearing and transmission of short fibers will increase, and thus the creep resistance of AZ91D composites further improves, but the precipitation of β-Mg17Al12precipitate increases in the number, it is easy to soften coarse, so that threshold stress of AZ91D composite does not increase greatly.

Experiments were conducted on an Al-0.2wt.%Sc alloy to evaluate the effect of equalchannel angular pressing (ECAP) on its creep behaviour. ECAP was conducted at room temperature with a die that had an internal angle of 90° between the two parts of the channel. The subsequent extrusion passes were performed by route BC up to 8 ECAP passes. Creep tests in tension were performed on the as-pressed samples at 473 K under an applied stress range between 10 to 50 MPa. For comparison purposes, some creep tests were performed also on the unpressed alloy. Following ECAP and creep testing, samples were prepared for examination by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with an electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) unit. The observation of the surface of the ECAPed samples after creep exposure showed the occurrence of mesoscopic shear bands. The EBSD data reveal that these bands are separated by high angle grain boundaries. The creep resistance of an alloy is a little decreased after one ECAP pass. However, successive ECAP pressing lead to a noticeable decrease of the creep properties. Thus, the Al-0.2wt.%Sc alloy processed by 8 ECAP passes exhibited faster creep rate by about two and/or three orders of magnitude than the unpressed alloy when creep testing at 473 K and at the same applied stress. The detrimental effect of ECAP on the creep resistance is probably a consequence of a synergetic effect of mesoscopic sliding of groups of grains along shear bands, more intensive grain boundary sliding and creep cavitation in creep of the ultrafine-grained material.

The Matrix

Constant stress tensile creep tests were conducted on an AZ 91–25 vol.% aluminum silicate short fiber composite and on an unreinforced AZ 91 matrix alloy. The creep resistance of the composite is shown to be considerably improved compared with the matrix alloy, and the resistance effect is better with the increase of temperature. The steady-state creep rate of the composite is 4.54% of matrix alloy at 473K, and 2.56% of matrix alloy at 573K. The creep strengthening arises mainly from the effective load transfer between plastic flow in the matrix and the fibers. Microstructural investigations by SEM revealed good fiber–matrix interface bonding during creep exposure. Short fibers have a great function in load bearing and transmission load, and greatly hinder the dislocation movement, thus enhancing the creep resistance of the composite. The creep mechanism of the composite is dislocation and grain boundary sliding control.

Damage And Fracture

As candidate materials for high-temperature components, most attention has been paid to improving tempered martensitic creep-resistant 9-12%Cr steels. In this work, creep damage and fracture behaviour of an advanced W-modified P92 steel (ASTM Grade P92) was investigated at 600 and 650°C. Tensile creep tests were followed by fractographic analysis of crept and broken specimens. Besides experimental investigations, the creep damage tolerance parameter λ has been used to assess the creep fracture mode. In accordance with experiments the values of λ indicate variety in the fracture mode and provide some evidence on accelerated degradation of the creep strength. The SEM investigations of creep fracture surface revealed substantial changes in microfractographic features of creep fracture. At high applied stress level, the fracture was frequently transgranular due to local loss of a stability of plastic deformation. The fracture ductility drops with decreasing applied stress, demonstrating ductile dimple (transgranular) to brittle (intergranular cavitation) transition of the fracture mode. It was suggested that both the creep deformation and fracture processes are controlled by the same processes and the rate controlling mechanism is most probably climb of intergranular mobile dislocations.
