摘要
This paper describes the stability of microstructure in normalized and tempered modified 9Cr-1Mo steel exposed to service temperatures in the range of 773-873 K for different time durations. A detailed microstructural and microchemical analysis of the secondary phases was carried out using optical and electron microscopy techniques. The microstructural observations, supported by hardness measurements showed that the lath morphology of the tempered martensite was retained even after 10000 h of aging. The coarsening of M23C6 Carbide was observed until 5000 h, when the Laves phase started appearing. The microstructural features observed are discussed in conjunction with the embrittlement observed in this steel on high temperature aging exceeding 5000 h. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
