Evolution of microstructure due to service exposure to high-temperature has a strong effect on performance of heat-resistant steels. In case of 2.25Cr-1Mo steels, precipitation and coarsening of M{sub 6}C-type carbides is the primary cause of degradation of the mechanical properties such as creep resistance, tensile strength and toughness. Creep tests have been carried out on pre-aged or service-exposed 2.25Cr-1Mo steels to examine the pre-aging effects on creep strength. Based on the results, a nondestructive procedure, where electrochemical method that quantitatively detect M{sub 6}C-type carbides in a material is used, has been proposed to evaluate a residual creep life of 2.25Cr-1Mo steels. Results of field application of the electrochemical method to residual life assessment of superheater tubes of a fossil power plant is also described.
