Annealing Heat

A TiB particulate-reinforced Ti-22Al-27Nb (mol%) alloy, based on the orthorhombic intermetallic phase, was prepared using gas atomization powder metallurgy method. In the as-atomized condition, extremely fine TiB particulates of less than 1-μm diameter and 5-μm length were dispersed in the matrix. After annealing heat treatment (heat treated at 1423 K with subsequent furnace cooling), this composite exhibited a lamellar matrix microstructure and showed better creep properties than a composite produced using conventional ingot metallurgy method, with coarse TiB particulates of 5-μm diameter and 40-μm length. Coarsening of the matrix microstructure and growth of TiB particulates occurred after annealing heat treatment at higher temperature (ca. 1473 K). Creep-resistance improvement was also observed, which seemed to be mainly attribute to the effect of the matrix microstructure. From measurements of stress components and activation energy, all composites showed an identical creep mechanism: dislocation-controlled creep.

Creep properties of one-step and two-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O cladding tubes were studied. Creep tests were carried out at 450~500 °C with the applied stress between 80MPa and 120MPa The creep rates of the two-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O alloy were found to be slower than those of the one-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O alloy. The creep rate decreased with increase of grain size with annealing for Zr-1Nb-0.12O at intermediate temperatures, suggesting the creep resistance can be enhanced by the grain size control. The creep life of two-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O increased over the one-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O by the factor of 18~20 despite the greater initial instantaneous strain.

By means of the measurement of creep curves and microstructure observation, the influence of T6 heat treatment on the microstructure and creep properties of the wrought Ti-6Al-4V the alloy has been investigated. The experimental results showed that the microstructure of the wrought alloy consists of the strip-like +  phases, which results in the alloy displaying a higher strain rate and shorter creep life under the test condition of 575 MPa and 400°C. After T6 treatment, the creep life of the alloy at same conditions enhanced to 548 h from 66 h. Microstructure of T6 treated alloy consisted of the primary  and /phases, and signification amount of the bundle-likephase precipitated along the different orientations in the grains, this is a main reason of enhancing creep life of the alloy. During forging, the denser dislocation rows were activated in the local region of the matrix in the alloy. During creep, the deformed mechanism of the alloy was the double orientations slip of <a> and <a+c> dislocations activated on the pyramidal planes in  phase.

Test Result

The failure analysis was performed for T91 finishing superheater bursting tube. It is concluded that improper initial microstructure resulted from non-standard heat treatment contributes to poor creep properties at high temperature and subsequent tube bursting. In addition, life evaluation was carried out on the basis of creep-rupture test result of experimental steel with similar improper microstructure. It is in accordance with the practical condition and provides significant guidance for safety and operation supervision.
