The evolutions of γ＇ particles inside austenitic grain and M_23 C_6 carbides along grain boundaries were characterized according to their morphologies, distributions, and growth kinetics. Mean radius of the γ＇ spherical particles grew from 20.3 to 90.0 nm after aging for 10000 h, and;the corresponding coarse- ning behavior was conformed to the law of Lifschitz-Slyosovd-Wagner （LSW）. The weight fraction of γ＇ particles slightly increased from 10.0 to 12.0 wt. % after aging of long duration at 750 ℃.The Cr-rich M_23C_6 carbides discontinuously precipitated along grain boundaries, while other detrimental phases were not formed during the aging treatment, and hence the strength of grain boundary was enhanced by these discontinuously distributed carbides. The critical size of γ＇ had a direct influence on the maximum hardness of this alloy. Moreover, this alloy presented a good impact toughness for the safety after long time aging at high temperature.展开更多

Isothermal compression experiments were performed on a Gleeble-3500 thermo-mechanical simulator to investigate the effect of process parameters on the fragment and re- finement of millimeter-grade coarse grains （MCGs） during hot cogging. The experimental results in- dicate that the stress of MCG specimens is much larger than that of fine grain （FG） ones at 1150 ℃, while the stress difference between MCG and FG samples became smaller at 1200 ℃. Moreover, the MCGs can be well fragmented and refined under the condition of temperature of 1200 ℃, strain rate of 0.01 s-1 , and reduction rate of 50%. Meanwhile, numerical simulations were conducted to study the influences of temperature, strain and strain rate on microstructure evolution. The results of ex- periments and simulations comprehensively demonstrate that the MCG results in the increase of de- formation resistance and incompatibility of deformation, and it can be fragmented and refined at 1200 ℃ so that the plastic deformation energy decreases remarkably with the increase of temperature from 1 150 to 1200 ℃.展开更多
