Persistent Precipitation Phase Transformation of S30432 Steeel at 650 ℃ and Its Effect on Material Property
The persistent precipitation phase transformation of S30432 steel after 650 ℃ creep and its effect mechanism on the material's creep ductility were systematically investigated by using analytical methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in combination with the results of thermodynamic simulation calculations using Thermo-Calc.

at grain boundaries and twin boundaries continuously distribute and significantly coarsen, which is conducive to the formation of voids. At 650 ℃and 9 146 h-24 432 h, blockyσphase is generated at the grain boundary. The number of σ phase increases with the prolongation of creep time, accompanied by significant coarsening phenomenon, which promotes the nucleation of micropores and accelerates the germination and propagation of the crack along the grain.The changes in the precipitated phases during these high-temperature long-term processes all have an important impact on the reduction of the creep ductility of S30432 steel at 650°C.
