Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standard chemical immersion (modified Strauss) tests and analytical electron microscopy (AEM) showed that reduced activation austenitic steels based on Fe-20Mn-12Cr-0.25C (wt %) are extremely prone to thermal sensitization and intergranular corrosion because of their high carbon contents and low chromium concentrations. This susceptibility to sensitization after thermal aging, fabrication, or irradiation makes their use in aqueous and other certain environments problematical. Excellent correlation between intergranular corrosion induced by immersion in the acidified CuSO4 solution and the presence of narrow chromium-depleted zones around grain boundaries, as determined by AEM, was found. Due to the need to meet reduced activation requirements, the opportunities to increase the sensitization of fully austenitic Fe-Mn-Cr steels by alloy design are limited. 10 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.

Download or read book Precipitation Sensitivity to Alloy Composition in Fe Cr Mn Austenitic Steels Developed for Reduced Activation for Fusion Application written by RL. Klueh and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special austenitic steels are being designed in which alloying elements like molybdenum, niobium, and nickel are replaced with manganese, tungsten, vanadium, titanium, and/or tantalum to reduce the long-term radioactivity induced by fusion reactor irradiation. However, the new steels still need to have properties otherwise similar to commercial steels like Type 316. Precipitation strongly affects strength and radiation-resistance in austenitic steels during irradiation at 400 to 600°C, and precipitation is also usually quite sensitive to alloy composition. The initial stage of development was to define a base Fe-Cr-Mn-C composition that formed stable austenite after annealing and cold-working, and resisted recovery or excessive formation of coarse carbide and intermetallic phases during elevated temperature annealing. These studies produced a Fe-12Cr-20Mn-0.25C base alloy. The next stage was to add the minor alloying elements titanium, vanadium, phosphorous, and boron for more strength and radiation-resistance. One of the goals was to produce fine MC precipitation behavior similar to the Ti-modified Fe-Cr-Ni prime candidate alloy (PCA). Additions of Ti + V + P + B produced fine MC precipitation along network dislocations and recovery/re-crystallization resistance in 20% cold-worked material aged at 800° for 168 h, whereas tungsten, titanium, W + Ti, or Ti + P + B additions did not. Addition of W +Ti + V + P + B also produced fine MC, but caused some ? phase formation and more recrystallization as well. These new alloys, therefore, achieved several of the initial design goals. Their fine MC precipitation and recovery/recrystallization behavior during aging is similar to that of the PCA. Calculations show that the new steels have over 103 times less long-term radioactivity than Type 316.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When considering the operational performance of stainless steel weldments the most important points to consider are corrosion resistance, weld metal mechanical properties and the integrity ofthe weldedjoint. Mechanical and corrosion resistance properties are greatly influenced by the metallurgical processes that occur during welding or during heat treatment of welded components. This book is aimed, there fore, at providing information on the metallurgical problems that may be encountered during stainless steel welding. In this way we aim to help overcome a certain degree of insecurity that is often encountered in welding shops engaged in the welding of stainless steels and is often the cause of welding problems which may in some instances lead to the premature failure of the welded component. The metallurgical processes that occur during the welding of stainless steel are of a highly intricate nature. The present book focuses in particular on the signif icance of constitution diagrams, on the processes occurring during the solidification of weld metal and on the recrystallization and precipitation phenomena which take place in the area of the welds. There are specific chapters covering the hot cracking resistance during welding and the practical welding of a number of different stainless steel grades. In addition, recommendations are given as to the most suitable procedures to be followed in order to obtain maximum corrosion resistance and mechanical properties from the weldments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decomposition of Alloys: The Early Stages contains the proceedings of the 2nd Acta-Scripta Metallurgica Conference held in Sonnenberg, Germany, on September 19-23, 1983. Contributors discuss the early stages of decomposition in alloys, placing emphasis on the unsolved problems of the field, rather than on the solved ones. This book has 36 chapters and opens with a discussion on developments in the theory of the kinetics of first-order phase transitions, followed by an analysis of metastability and spinodal nucleation; neutron scattering during decomposition of aluminum alloys; Ostwald ripening of precipitates; and phase stability under irradiation. The next chapters explore decomposition processes in Al-Zn alloys; thermal decomposition in Cu-Ni-Fe alloys; and the initial stages of discontinuous precipitation reactions. Other papers focus on the mechanisms of plate precipitate growth; spinodal decomposition and continuous ordering; and early stages of decomposition in Ni-Al single crystals. This monograph will be of interest to students and practitioners of physics and metallurgy.
