摘要
The present work reports the creep behaviour of a high yttria Fe-18Cr-2W-0.57Ti-1Y(2)O(3) (all compositions in wt. %) ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel produced by powder forging. The creep tests were carried out in a temperature range of 873 K to1023K and a stress range of 150 MPa to 425 MPa. Creep data is analysed using the power law creep equation. A large value of stress exponents (n similar to 10 at 873 K, similar to 18 at 923 K and 8.5 at 973 K) and a high activation energy (Q similar to 581 kJ/mol) are obtained. These high values are attributed to threshold stress (sigma(th)) generated due to attractive interaction between dislocation and oxide particles. Threshold stress for different creep conditions was determined. True stress exponent values of 4 to 5 were obtained after accounting for the threshold stress. Electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) revealed an equiaxed strain free grain structure in the powder forged ODS steel. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of creep tested samples indicates that microstructure remains stable after creep with no significant coarsening of nano size oxide particles. Dislocation pinning by the oxide particles was observed in creep tested samples. The observed values of true stress exponent suggest dislocation climb over the nano oxide particles to be the creep mechanism operating in the ODS steel. Samples sections close to creep fracture surfaces were investigated by EBSD. Void formation at triple junctions followed by crack propagation normal to the loading direction was observed. All the samples exhibited mixed mode (cleavage + ductile dimple) failure. Conventional ODS steel compositions contain up to 0.35% yttria. A significant improvement in creep life as well as an increase in activation energy for creep was observed because of high (1%) yttria content used in the ODS steel studied.
