DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-STRENGTH, ELEVATEDTEMPERATURE, CORROSIN-RESISTANT STEEL.

Abstract

Previous work on Cr-Mo-Co stainless steels resulted in the development of a new hardenable high-strength steel, AFC-77. AFC-77, which contains nominally 0.15C-14.5Cr-5Mo-0.4V-13Co, exhibits an excellent combination of properties from subzero to about 1200 F and thus extends significantly the service temperature range attainable with hardenable stainless steels. Under the present contract, the complex precipitation reactions that are responsible for the strength of the Cr-Co-Mo steels were studied in detail. Strengthening after tempering at temperatures up to about 900 F is related to the precipitation of carbides. Above 1000 F, the Fe2Mo Laves phase and the chi phase have been identified as the primary strengthening agents. (Author)
