MoSi2 is a potential matrix material for high temperature structural composites due to its high melting temperature and good oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The two major drawbacksfor structural applications are inadequate high temperature strength and poor low temperature ductility. The search for appropriate composite additions has been the focus of extensive investigations in recent years. The addition of SiC in a nanolayered configuration was shown to exhibit superior oxidation resistance and significant hardness increase through annealing at 500°C. One potential application of MoSi2- SiC multilayers is for high temperature coatings, where structural stability ofthe layering is of major concern. In this study, we have systematically investigated both the evolution of phases and the stability of layers by varying the heat treating conditions.Alternating layers of MoSi2 and SiC were synthesized by DC-magnetron and rf-diode sputtering respectively. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) was used to examine three distinct reactions in the specimens when exposed to different annealing conditions: crystallization and phase transformation of MoSi2, crystallization of SiC, and spheroidization of the layer structures.

New materials are being evaluated to replace type 347 stainless steel in microturbine recuperators operating at higher temperatures in order to increase the efficiency of the microturbine. Commercial alloys 120 and 625 are being tested along with potentially lower cost substitutes, such as Fe-20Cr-25Ni and Fe-20Cr-20Ni. Long-term testing of these materials at 650–700 °C shows excellent corrosion resistance to a simulated exhaust gas environment. Testing at 800 °C has been used to further differentiate the performance of the various materials. The depletion of Cr from foils of these materials is being used to evaluate the rate of attack. Although those alloys with the highest Ni and Cr contents have longer lives in this environment, lower alloyed steels may have sufficient protection at a lower cost.

The results of a study on the development and testing of a heat-resistant coating in a Si–TiSi2–MoSi2–TiB2–CaSi2 system to protect Cf/C–SiC composites from oxidation and erosional entrainment in high-speed flows are presented here. The coating was formed using firing fusion technology on the powder composition. Oxidation resistance tests were carried out under static conditions in air at 1650 °C and under conditions of interaction with high-speed air plasma flows, with Mach numbers M = 5.5–6.0 and enthalpy 40–50 MJ/kg. The effectiveness of the protective action of the coating was confirmed at surface temperatures of Tw = 1810–1820 °C for at least 920–930 s, at Tw = 1850–1860 °C for not less than 510–520 s, at Tw = 1900–1920 °C for not less than 280–290 s, and at Tw = 1940–1960 °C for not less than 100–110 s. The values of the rate of loss of the coating mass and the rate constant of heterogeneous recombination of atoms and ions of air plasma on its surface were estimated. The performance of the coating was ensured by the structural-phase state of its main layer, and the formation and evolution on its surface during operation of a passivating heterogeneous oxide film. This film, in turn, is composed of borosilicate glass with titanium and calcium liquation inhomogeneities, reinforcing TiO2 microneedles and in situ Si2ON2 fibers. It was shown that at Tw≥ 1850–1860 °C, the generation of volatile silicon monoxide was observed at the “oxide layer–coating” interface, followed by the effects of boiling and breakdown degradation of the oxide film, which significantly reduced the lifespan of the protective action of the coating.

Titanium and niobium stabilized austenitic stainless steels X6CrNiTi18-10S (material number 1.4541, correspondent to Alloy 321) respectively X6CrNiNb18-10S (material number 1.4550, correspondent to Alloy 347) are widely applied materials in German nuclear power plant components. Related requirements are defined in Nuclear Safety Standard KTA 3201.1. Fatigue design analysis is based on Nuclear Safety Standard KTA 3201.2. The fatigue design curve for austenitic stainless steels in the current valid edition of KTA 3201.2 is essentially identical with the design curve included in ASME-BPVC III, App I (ed. 2007, add. July 2008 respectively back editions). In the current code revision activities of KTA 3201.2 the compatibility of latest in air fatigue data for austenitic stainless steels with the above mentioned grades were examined in detail. The examinations were based on statistical evaluations of 149 strain controlled test data at room temperature and 129 data at elevated temperatures to derive best-fit mean data curves. Results of two additional load controlled test series (at room temperature and 288°C) in the high cycle regime were used to determine a technical endurance limit at 107 cycles. The related strain amplitudes were determined by consideration of the cyclic stress strain curve. The available fatigue data for the two austenitic materials at room temperature and elevated temperatures showed a clear temperature dependence in the high cycle regime demanding for two different best-fit curves. The correlation of the technical endurance limit(s) at room temperature and elevated temperatures with the ultimate strength of the materials is discussed. Design fatigue curves were derived by application of the well known factors to the best-fit curves. A factor of SN = 12 was applied to load cycles correspondent to the NUREG/CR-6909 approach covering influences of data scatter, surface roughness, size and sequence. In terms of strain respectively stress amplitudes in the high cycle regime, for elevated temperatures (>80°C) a factor of Sσ = 1.79 was applied considering and combining in detail the partial influences of data scatter surface roughness, size and mean stress. For room temperature a factor of Sσ = 1.88 shall be applied. As a result, new design fatigue curves for austenitic stainless steel grades 1.4541 and 1.4550 will be available within the German Nuclear Safety Standard KTA 3201.2. The fatigue design rules for all other austenitic stainless steel grades will be based on the new ASME-BPVC III, App I (ed. 2010) design curve.

The effect of cryogenic temperatures (from 78 F to −423 F) on the yield strength of twenty alloys was studied. Experimental results prove that they do not conform to any of the following theories: Hollomon and Zener’s, Cottrell and Bilby’s, or Fisher’s. However, all the plottings in loge-loge scale of yield strength versus absolute cryogenic temperatures of these alloys fall on straight lines which are governed by one single general equation, σy = bT−m. From the Cottrell’s dislocation theory on yielding and Fisher’s equation of activation energy in forming a dislocation loop, the same type of equation of yield strength versus temperature as expressed by the empirical ones can be derived theoretically. The empirical equations are very useful in predicting yield strengths at any cryogenic temperature within or slightly out of the test range for which data were available. Some limited yield strength data at elevated temperatures for a few alloys were studied for comparison. It was observed the general equation for yield strength versus cryogenic temperatures holds valid for stainless steels but not so well for titanium, nickel, and aluminum alloys at elevated temperatures. However, no conclusion can be drawn until further detailed studies at elevated temperatures are made.

With the objective of partial and total replacement of nickel by nitrogen in austenitic exhausted valve steel X45CrNiW18-9, a program of work with series of experimental heats was designed. Experimental heats were carried out in 10 Kg. induction furnace under nitrogen pressure. The chemical composition of produced stainless steels was determined. The produced automotive steel grades were forged. The nitrogen contents were determined. The produced forged stainless steels were subjected to solution treatment at 1050 °C for 1 hour, followed by water cooling. Isothermal oxidation test is used to detect the behavior of new grades at different temperatures in air for solution treated stainless steels. The mass gain was measured for samples exposed to air at temperatures (500 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C, 800°C) for different time intervals, up to 1000 hrs. The oxide layer thickness for two selected steels was investigated by using optical microscope. XRD was used to detect types of oxides which are formed during oxidation process at 800 °C for 1000 hrs for represented investigated exhausted valve steels. Scanning Electron Microscope was used to make scan steels surface, after heating at 500 °C and 800 °C for l000hr. The mechanism of the oxidation of developed steels was investigated. It was found controlled by diffusion mechanism and the kinetic of oxidation process is parabolic. Oxidation rate of the investigated stainless steels for times, up to 8 h and between 200 andl000 h, at all investigated temperatures (500 °C - 800 °C), is parabolic and the oxidation is diffusion controlled. While in the time region 10 to 200 h, it obeys combined mechanisms. Partial replacement of nickel, by nitrogen, improves the oxidation resistance in air at temperature range 500°C - 800°C.
