Microstructure Evolution in a P911 Steel under Creep Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microstructure evolution in a P911 heat resistant steel was examined under conditions of aging and creep at a temperature of 600°C and an applied stress of 200 MPa. The tempered martensite lath structure (TMLS) evolved after heat treatment consisted of prior austenite grains (PAG), packets, blocks and laths. The mean transverse lath size and the interior dislocation density were about 345 nm and 3.5 × 1014 m-2, respectively. Various second phase particles precipitated upon tempering. Fine MX carbonitrides were homogeneously distributed throughout the tempered martensite laths, while relatively coarse M23C6 carbide particles were located on high-and low-angle boundaries. Upon creep test, precipitation of Laves phases was found. The stability of TMLS during creep is discussed in detail.
