Evolution of secondary phases in Cr-V low-alloy steels during aging

The influence of both bulk vanadium content and aging conditions on the evolution of secondary phases in Cr-V low-alloy steels was studied. Three 0.1C-0.9Cr-V steels with different vanadium contents (0, 0.258, and 0.512 wt pct) were aged for 100 to 5,000 hours at 773, 853, 953, and 993 K. In the inv...

Zusammenfassung:The influence of both bulk vanadium content and aging conditions on the evolution of secondary phases in Cr-V low-alloy steels was studied. Three 0.1C-0.9Cr-V steels with different vanadium contents (0, 0.258, and 0.512 wt pct) were aged for 100 to 5,000 hours at 773, 853, 953, and 993 K. In the investigation, a limited experimental program (transmission electron microscopy (TEM)) was combined with credible thermodynamic predictions (ThermoCalc). Going out from the good agreement between the predicted and experimental results, behavior of the iron-rich M^sub 7^C^sub 3^ carbide in time-temperature scale was characterized. The influence of bulk vanadium content was determined on appearance of the M^sub 3^C carbide in equilibrium, temperature of the M^sub 7^C^sub 3^ carbide precipitation, metal compositions of M^sub 3^C or M^sub 7^C^sub 3^ carbides, and vanadium portion in the metallic part of the MX phase.
