Abstract

New Fe-base ferritic alloys based on Fe-30Cr-3Al-Nb-Si (wt.%) were proposed with alloy design concepts and strategies targeted at improved performance of tensile and creep-rupture properties, environmental compatibilities, and weldability, compared to Grade 91/92 type ferritic-martensitic steels. The alloys were designed to incorporate corrosion and oxidation resistance from high Cr and Al additions and precipitate strengthening via second-phase intcrmetallic precipitates (Fe2Nb Laves phase), with guidance from computational thermodynamics. The effects of alloying additions, such as Nb, Zr, Mo, W, and Ti, on the properties were investigated. The alloys with more than 1 wt.% Nb addition showed improved tensile properties compared to Gr 91/92 steels in a temperature range from 600-800°C, and excellent steam oxidation at 800°C as well. Creeprupture properties of the 2Nb-containing alloys at 700°C were comparable to Gr 92 steel. The alloy with a combined addition of Al and Nb exhibited improved ash-corrosion resistance at 700°C. Additions of W and Mo were found to refine the Laves phase particles, although they also promoted the coarsening of the particle size during aging. The Ti addition was found to reduce the precipitate denuded zone along the grain boundary and the precipitate coarsening kinetics.
