The Microstructure and Creep Strength of 403Nb Martensitic Heat-Resistant Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructure and creep strength of 403Nb martensitic heat-resistant steel after tempering at 650°C, 680°C and 730°C were analyzed by SEM and TEM. Microstructural observation shows that 403Nb steel tempered at 650°C provides a finer lath structure and a smaller size of precipitates than that tempered at 680°C or 730°C. The dislocation density is also higher in 403Nb steel tempered at 650°C. The creep rupture strength of 403Nb steel tempered at 650°C is the highest among those tempered. The main creep strengthening mechanisms in 403Nb steel usually include precipitates hardening, dislocation hardening and sub-grain boundary hardening.
