Narrow gap submerged arc welding （NG-SAW） process via multi-pass and multi-layer techniques was employed to fabricate the welded joint. LCF tests at different strain amplitude range from 0.22% to 0.75% were performed at strain ratio R = -1. The two-slope behavior based on fracture location shift was presented both on the cyclic stress-strain （CSS） curve and Manson-Coffin （M-C） curve, which could be applied to predict the fatigue life more precisely especially at relatively low strain amplitude. The results indicated that the joint failed in CrMoV-base metal （BM） at relatively low strain amplitude below 0.4% while failure shifted to CrMoV-over tempered zone （OTZ） at higher strain amplitude above 0.4%. Fatigue failure occurred in CrMoV-BM at low strain amplitude could be attributed to temperature softening effect in CrMoV-BM combined with cyclic strengthening in CrMoV- OTZ. While CrMoV-OTZ with a comparable number of grain boundaries and much lower hardness than that of CrMoV-BM was deemed to be the weakest zone across the welded joint at higher strain amplitude. EBSD investigations also revealed that CrMoV-BM experienced more fatigue damage at relatively low strain amplitude, while CrMoV-OTZ accumulated more plastic strain at higher strain amplitude.展开更多

These projects involve the replacement of martensitic 9%–12% Cr steels with nickel(Ni)-base alloys for the highest temperature boiler and turbine components in order to provide sufficient creep strength at 700℃ and above. To minimize the requirement for expensive Ni-base alloys, martensitic 9%–12% Cr steels can be applied to the next highest temperature components of an A-USC power plant, up to a maximum of 650℃. This paper comprehensively describes the research and development of Ni-base alloys and martensitic 9%–12% Cr steels for thick section boiler and turbine components of A-USC power plants, mainly focusing on the long-term creep-rupture strength of base metal and welded joints, strength loss in welded joints, creep-fatigue properties, and microstructure evolution during exposure at elevated temperatures.展开更多
