Fracture behaviour of high-chromium 9% and 14% Cr-Mo and Cr-W steels
Hadraba, Hynek ; Stratil, Luděk ; Kazimierzak, B. ; Fournier, B. ; Dlouhý, Ivo
The paper describes the influence of the microstructure (coming from the chemical composition and extrusion shape) of 9 and 14%Cr- W(Mo)-Ti-Y2O3 ODS steels prepared by mechanical alloying and subsequent hot-extrusion on their impact properties. The chemical composition and corresponding microstructure plays a major role on the impact properties. 9Cr-2W ferritic-martensitic steel present lower upper shelf energy (USE) about 7 J and a lower ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) about -30°C compared to 14Cr-1W ferritic steel one. The transition energy curves of low-activation ferritic 14Cr-1W ODS steel was shifted by about 50°C toward lower temperatures and USE by about 4 J towards higher energies. The extrusion shape also plays a role on the impact properties. The texture caused by the forming process strongly influenced the impact behaviour of the steels. The extensive splitting of the fracture surfaces of plate shaped steel comparing with steels extruded as bar was found.
Microstructure and impact response of high-chromium ODS steels
Hadraba, Hynek ; Fournier, B. ; Stratil, Luděk ; Dlouhý, Ivo
A new class of ODS steels alloyed by Cr and W is developed as a high temperature structural material for prospective power sources, the fission reactors of IV generation and the fusion reactors. The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of microstructure on the fracture properties of ODS (9-18)Cr-W-Ti-Y2O3 steels. It was found that the increasing in the Cr and W content brought to the steels strength at elevated temperatures and increased upper shelf energy level and shifted transition region towards lower temperatures. The increase in the yttria content led to the decreasing the upper shelf energy and shifted the TDBTT towards higher temperatures. The impact energy of rolled ODS sheet depended strongly on the fracture plane orientation regarding to the rolling direction. The splitting edges profile changed according to the sample orientation and thus the energy portion consumed for the shearing was changed.
