Abstract |
This study investigated the effect of the tempering before aging on the precipitation of Laves phase and mechanical properties of 10Cr-6W and 10Cr-6W-3Co ferritic heat-resistant steels. Laves phase was precipitated by aging, which increase tensile strength but decreased elongation and impact value. Toughness was rapidly decreased by the presence of the very fine disk-like Laves phase precipitated at early aging stage. Strength and impact value were decreased by tempering treatment and that is due to the increase of the particle number per unite area and to larger particle size of Laves phase. Laves phase increased by adding Co, and consequently strength was increased and elongation and toughness were decreased. (Received February 26, 2004) |
