Efect of ageing on microstructure and impact properties of 9Cr-1Mo steel
PublicationBadano wpływ długotrwałego starzenia na mikrostrukturę i właściwości udarnościowe trzech przemysłowych wytopów stali typu 9Cr-1Mo. Wczesniejsze badania wykazały, że w stali 9Cr-1Mo starzonej w 550C przez 10 000 godzin występuje kruchość odpuszczania, a przy dłuższych czasach ekspozycji tworzy się krucha faza Lavesa (FeCr)2Mo na granicach ziaren. Powoduje to wzrost teperatury przejściowej kruchości oraz spadek energii łamania powyżej...
