Effects of thermal aging on the mechanical properties of Ni--Cr--Mo--Fe alloy. [At 1000/sup 0/, 1200/sup 0/, 1400/sup 0/ and 1600/sup 0/F]

The thermal aging of Ni-Cr-Mo-Fe Alloy (Hastelloy Alloy X) at 1000/sup 0/, 1200/sup 0/, 1400/sup 0/, and 1600/sup 0/F (538/sup 0/, 649/sup 0/, 760/sup 0/, and 871/sup 0/C) for times up to 15,000 h is discussed together with the associated changes in room-temperature impact toughness properties. Effects of 10,000-h aging on room-temperature and elevated-temperature tensile properties, and stress-rupture properties were also evaluated. The alloy exhibits a substantial drop in room-temperature tensile ductility, while elevated-temperature tensile ductility was relatively unaffected by the aging. Stress-rupture properties, while affected by the 1600/sup 0/F (871/sup 0/C) aging, were relatively unaffected by the lower aging temperatures. The correlation between mechanical properties and microstructure is discussed.
