Effect of Static Aging on Mechanical Properties of an 18Cr-8Ni-W-Nb-V-N Stainless Steel
Abstract:
The interrelations between microstructure, precipitation and mechanical properties of the 18Cr-8Ni-W-Nb-V-N austenitic stainless steel were examined under long-term aging at 650°C. It was shown that aging leads to decreasing strength characteristics with increasing aging time despite the fact that hardness tends to increase. In none-aged condition the present steel exhibits superior impact toughness of about 255 J/cm-2. This values decreases gradually at the early stage of the aging. After 1000 hours exposure the impact toughness is 195 J/cm-2 and decreases sharply to 135 J/cm-2 at 3000 hours. However, an evidence for ductile fracture was found even after long-term aging. Degradation in impact toughness and mechanical properties with aging is discussed in relation to microstructure evolution, precipitations of the secondary phase and fracture mechanisms.
