Kinetics of fatigue crack propagation in steels P91 and P92
Kander, Jan ; Němec, Karel (referee) ; Věchet, Stanislav (advisor)
The main subject of this master’s thesis was to evalute inluence of loading cycle asymmetry and long-term thermal exposure on fatigue crack growth rate in martensitic P91 and P92 steels. Experiments were carried out in Material and metallurgical research Ostrava Ltd. and their main aim was to study the influences of different loading cycle asymmetries (R = 0,1 and R = 0,6) as well as 5000 hours/600 °C (P91) respectively 5000 hours/650 °C (P92) of thermal exposure on fatigue crack growth rate.

The Changes in Structure of Steel P91 after Short Annealings
Král, Lubomír ; Čermák, Jiří ; Král, Petr
Phase composition of the steel P91 during annealing was studied with the aim to reveal the evolution of new phases. In this paper, the precipitation was characterized using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron diffraction in transmission microscopy (TEM). Only Nb-rich particles were found in the studied samples austenitized at 1423 °C for 20h and water cooled. After tempering at 673 °C for 2 h, the formation mainly M3C type carbides and after tempering at 873 °C for 2 h, the formation of M7C3 and M23C6 was observed. These structure changes play an important role for stability and also carbon diffusion.

Comparison of Diffusion Coefficients in Initial Stages of Mutual Diffusion in Layered Structures Carbon/Ferrite and Carbon/Austenite for Chosen Alloys
Čermák, Jiří ; Král, Lubomír
Coefficients of mutual carbon diffusion were measured at initial stages of diffusion for surface thin layer of carbon/ferrite and carbon surface layer/austenite. The aim of the study was to compare the diffusion characteristics obtained at the present strongly non-equilibrium case with those known for carbon mutual diffusion in cases where the carbon concentration does not exceed the solubility limit in the respective substrate. The second goal was to judge, whether the carbon diffusivity is determined by the structure of the substrate matrix (BCC or FCC). As examples of ferrite substrate, pure Fe and chromium steel P91 were chosen, as an example of austenite substrate, AISI316 was taken. It was obtained that – similar to nearequilibrium case – the carbon diffusion measured close to interface C/austenite is significantly lower compared to carbon diffusion near the C/ferrite. Values of carbon diffusion coefficients in cases C/Fe and C/P91 are close one to another. All carbon diffusion coefficients are much lower than those, reported for near-equilibrium conditions; they approach values measured in carbides.
