Abstract

The effects of some factors on the creep behavior of type 304 stainless steel have been studied, and relationships between the strength and the structures in the steel have been discussed. Main results obtained were as follows:
(1) Greep strength and creep rupture strength at 550, 600, and 650°C increased with cold working rate up to 20%, but creep rupture elongation decreased. These facts were explained by the strengthening of matrix by dislocations which acted as precipitation sites of carbides during creep.
(2) The steel was aged for up to 3000h at 550-700°C. Carbides precipitated on grain boundary and in the neighborhood of grain boundary. With long time or high temperature aging creep strength and creep rupture strength decreased, but creep rupture elongation increased.
(3) Creep strength at 600°C was independent of the grain size. Initiation of crack was accelerated with growth of grains, and therefore the creep rupture strength and elongation became lower.
(4) Creep strength of type 304 stainless steel stemed from uniformly distributed fine carbieds (Cr, Fe) 23C6 which precipitated on dislocations during creep.
