Abstract

A series of candidate alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) stainless steels designed to evaluate the effects of variation in Al, C, Cr, Mn, Nb, and Ni content on high-temperature tensile properties, creep, and oxidation/corrosion resistance were studied. The compositions assessed were based on medium Ni (20-25wt%) and low Ni (12wt%) AFA variations strengthened primarily by MC and/or M23C6 carbide precipitates, and a high Ni (32wt%) AFA superalloy variation strengthened primarily by γ'-Ni3Al intermetallic precipitates. Tensile and creep properties were measured at 650 and 750/760°C, oxidation resistance from 650 to 900°C in air with water vapor and steam environments, and sulfidation-oxidation resistance in Ar-20%H2-20%H2O-5% H2S at 550 and 650°C. Optimized composition ranges for different use temperatures ranges based on these evaluations are presented.
