Precipitation in a 0.05C–0.25N–0.4Si–21.3Mn–9.2Ni–13Cr–1Mo Austenitic Stainless Steel After Isothermal Aging at 600–900 °C and Its Effect on Cryogenic Toughness
摘要
Experimental and numerical study of the precipitationPrecipitation of carbides was conducted in a N-containing 0.05C–0.25N–0.4Si–21.3Mn–9.2Ni–13Cr–1Mo austenitic stainless steelStainless steel and it effect on the cryogenic at − 197 °C. Isothermal aging of steelSteel specimens was conducted at temperaturesTemperature of 600, 700, 800, and 900 °C for times of 10–1000 min. The aged specimens were microstructurally characterized by electron scanning microscope and X-ray diffraction. CVN impact tests of heat-treated specimens were conducted at − 196 °C. Themo-Calc software was employed to analyze the precipitationPrecipitation processProcess of this steelSteel. The present work results indicated the intergranular and intragranular precipitationPrecipitation of Cr2N nitrides and Cr-rich M23C6 carbides. The precipitationPrecipitation promoted a decrease in CVN impact test energy with an increase in aging temperatureTemperature and time. The fractureFracture mode changed from transgranular ductile to brittle intergranular because of precipitationPrecipitation.
