Computational Design of Creep-resistant Alloys and Experimental Validation in Ferritic Superalloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
As an analogy to nickel-based superalloys, ferritic superalloys based on Fe-Al-Cr-Ni-Ti are proposed for high-temperature applications, especially for fossil-energy power systems. Integrated computational tools will be employed to investigate thermodynamic, kinetic, and meso-scale properties of the proposed alloy systems. Meanwhile, selected microstructural attributes in representative model ferritic superalloys will be measured to validate computational results.

Physcial Metallurgy and Microstructure of Superalloys
When significant resistance to loading under static, fatigue and creep conditions is required, the superalloys have emerged as the materials of choice for high temperature applications. This is particularly true when operating temperatures are beyond about 800C. This is the case for gas turbines used for (i) jet propulsion, e.g. the 100,000 lb thrust engines used for powering large two-engined ...
متن کاملFerritic Alloys with Extreme Creep Resistance via Coherent Hierarchical Precipitates
There have been numerous efforts to develop creep-resistant materials strengthened by incoherent particles at high temperatures and stresses in response to future energy needs for steam turbines in thermal-power plants. However, the microstructural instability of the incoherent-particle-strengthened ferritic steels limits their application to temperatures below 900 K. Here, we report a novel fe...

The ferritic Fe-Cr-Ni-Al-Ti alloys strengthened by hierarchical-Ni2TiAl/NiAl or single-Ni2TiAl precipitates have been developed and received great attentions due to their superior creep resistance, as compared to conventional ferritic steels. Although the significant improvement of the creep resistance is achieved in the hierarchical-precipitate-strengthened ferritic alloy, the in-depth underst...

It is well known that the solution cooling rate has a great effect on the creep life of superalloys. In this research, three typical cooling rates were applied to generate different distributions of γ’ precipitates for creep tests. Ingots used to make specimens were manufactured by hot extrusion, and the master alloy had the composition of an FGH4096 power metallurgy superalloy. SEM and SESD we...
متن کاملTheoretical design of ferritic creep resistant steels using neural network, kinetic, and thermodynamic models
Creep resistant ferritic steels based on Fe–2·25Cr–1Mo and Fe–(9–12)Cr have been used extensively in the energy and petrochemical industries for more than half a century. This is because they have an outstanding record of reliability in quite aggressive conditions over time periods as long as 30 years. The alloys have undergone progressive development throughout their history,1,2 particularly i...
