Abstract

Metallurgical factor causing the heat-to-heat variation in creep rupture strength have been investigated for KA-SUS304J1HTB. In the long-term, there was a maximum difference of 3.5 times in creep rupture time between the heat with low creep strength and the heat with high creep strength. In the heat with low creep rupture strength, most of the creep voids occurred at the matrix/σ phase interface. Moreover, in the heat with low creep rupture strength, the area fraction of σ phase was larger than in the heat with high creep rupture strength. Considering that the difference in the area fraction of σ phase in each heat is related to the difference in phase stability of the austenite phase, the Md value in each heat was evaluated. The Md value is the parameter correlated with phase stability. The creep rupture time of each heat was correlated with the Md value. The smaller the Md value, the longer the creep rupture time. Therefore, the heat-to-heat variation in creep rupture strength is caused by the difference in the phase stability of each heat. In other words, in the heats with low phase stability, creep rupture strength is low because a large amount of σ phase precipitates during the creep test.
