For energy production and also for the glass industry, finding new refractory alloys which could permit to increase the process temperatures to 1200°C or more is a permanent challenge. Chromium base alloys can be good candidates, considering the melting point of Cr itself, and also its low corrosion rate in molten glass. Two families of alloys have been studied for this purpose, Cr-Mo-W and Cr-Ta-X alloys (X= Mo, Si..). A finer selection of compositions has been done, to optimize their chemical and mechanical properties. Kinetics of HT oxidation by air, of corrosion by molten glass and also creep properties of several alloys have been measured up to 1250°C. The results obtained with the best alloys (Cr-Ta base) give positive indications as regards the possibility of their industrial use.

Pressure casting dies are subjected to a large number of thermal as well as mechanical load cycles, which are leading to a characteristic thermally induced crack network on the die surface. As a typical representative for a die material the cyclic thermo-mechanical behavior of the hot work tool steel grade 1.2343 (X38CrMoV5-1) is investigated both experimentally as well as numerically. On the one hand the information from isothermal compression-tension tests is used in a subsequent analysis to calibrate a constitutive model that takes into account the characteristic combined isotropic-kinematic hardening/softening of the material. On the other hand the non-isothermal mechanical response of the material to thermal cycles is characterized by means of a periodic laser pulse applied to a small plate-like specimen which is cooled on the back. The residual stresses developing at the surface of the irradiated region of the specimen are determined ex-situ by means of X-ray diffraction. The obtained values agree well with the results of an accompanying finite-element study. This information is used to verify the calibrated constitutive model. The material law is finally used for the prediction of stresses and strains in a die.
