Title: Analytical modeling of the evolution of the nonlinearity parameter of sensitized stainless steel

Abstract

Austenitic stainless steels are subject to the precipitation of chromium carbides (M₂₃C₆) during exposure to high temperatures, causing these alloys to be susceptible to intergranular corrosion due to chromium depletion along grain boundaries. The acoustic nonlinearity parameter, β, shows sensitivity to the formation of carbides in these alloys. The Thermo-Calc TC-PRISMA module was used to model the nucleation and growth of grain boundary M₂₃C₆ carbides. The model was verified with scanning transmission electron microscopy analysis that allowed measurements of the grain boundary precipitates. The paper introduces a reduced-order model of the acoustic nonlinearity based on the formation of misfit dislocations at the interface of the grain boundary precipitate and matrix to explain the change in β during isothermal aging. Furthermore, a direct relationship between the radius of the M₂₃C₆ grain boundary carbides and β was observed and verified with nonlinear ultrasound measurements on 304L and 316L stainless steels.

A study of chromium carbide precipitation at interphase boundaries in stainless steel welds

Technical Report Willis, C F

Sensitization is a deleterious process which can occur in stainless steels. It is caused by grain boundary or phase boundary precipitation of chromium carbides and the resulting formation of a chromium depleted zone adjacent to these boundaries. The carbides in question actually have the composition (Cr,Fe){sub 23}C{sub 6} (usually written M{sub 23}C{sub 6}), and precipitate in the temperature range 450--900{degree}C. Since a minimum chromium content is required to maintain the passive film necessary for resistance to electrochemical attack, the result of chromium depletion is that the steel becomes sensitized'' to possible intergranular corrosion. Sensitization often occurs as a result ofmore »« less

Synergistic Computational and Microstructural Design of Next- Generation High-Temperature Austenitic Stainless Steels

Technical Report Karaman, Ibrahim ; Arroyave, Raymundo

The purpose of this project was to: 1) study deformation twinning, its evolution, thermal stability, and the contribution on mechanical response of the new advanced stainless steels, especially at elevated temperatures; 2) study alumina-scale formation on the surface, as an alternative for conventional chromium oxide, that shows better oxidation resistance, through alloy design; and 3) design new generation of high temperature stainless steels that form alumina scale and have thermally stable nano-twins. The work involved few baseline alloys for investigating the twin formation under tensile loading, thermal stability of these twins, and the role of deformation twins on the mechanicalmore »« less

Mechanism of the formation of lamellar M{sub 23}C{sub 6} at and near twin boundaries in austenitic stainless steels

Journal Article Sasmal, B - Metallurgical and Materials Transactions. A, Physical Metallurgy and Materials Science

Precipitation characteristics of M{sub 23}C{sub 6} during aging at 800 C were studied by transmission electron microscopes in two austenitic stainless steels, A (type AISI 316L) and B (type DIN 4981), which had been quenched in water after their solution treatment at high temperatures (1,150 C and 1,275 C, respectively). After precipitation at grain boundaries, M{sub 23}C{sub 6} precipitated at incoherent and coherent boundaries of twins and inside austenite grains. Close to an incoherent twin boundary on either side of the boundary, M{sub 23}C{sub 6} mostly grew as elongated plates, although elsewhere in austenite matrix these grew usually as equiaxedmore »« less

Phase transformation in Fe-Mo-C and Fe-W-C steels. 1: The structural evolution during tempering at 700 C

Journal Article Shtansky, D V ; Inden, G - Acta Materialia

Mechanism and kinetics of carbide transformation during tempering at 700 C have been studied in Fe-Mo-C and Fe-W-C steels (with up to 2.5% W or Mo) by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction. The sequence of carbide formation is Fe{sub 3}C{yields}Mo{sub 2}C{yields}(Fe{sub 2}MoC, M{sub 23}C{sub 6}) in molybdenum steels and Fe{sub 3}C{yields}M{sub 6}C{yields}M{sub 23}C{sub 6} in tungsten steels. Increasing the alloying element level increases the rate of carbide replacement reaction. In Fe-Mo-C steels the Fe{sub 2}MoC carbides nucleate preferentially at the Fe{sub 3}C-{alpha} interface and grow into cementite, whereas in Fe-W-C steels the Me{sub 2}C carbides usually precipitate insidemore »« less

The aging behavior of homogenized type 308 and 308CRE stainless steel

Journal Article Vitek, J M ; David, S A - Metall. Trans., A; (United States)

The aging behavior of type 308 stainless steel and type 308 stainless steel with controlled residual elements (308CRE) was studied. The alloys were initially homogenized, resulting in a fully austenitic structure in the type 308 alloy and a duplex austenite plus ferrite structure in the type 308CRE alloy. The materials were subsequently aged at 550, 650, 750, an 850/sup 0/C for times up to 10,000 hours. Aging of the type 308 steel resulted in precipitation of chromium-rich M/sub 23/C/sub 6/, primarily along grain boundaries, followed by sigma-phase formation after long aging times (greater than or equal to5000 hours). The agingmore »« less
