Abstract

The softening behaviour of heat resistant austenitic stainless steel grades used in boiler equipments in reheater and superheater sections, either under supercritical steam conditions, or in highly corrosive environments is analyzed. Isothermal treatments were carried out at laboratory in a wide range of temperatures on specimens machined from the wall of cold pilgered tubes manufactured by Tubacex.

Microhardness measurements were carried out in order to estimate the softened fraction. By means of quantitative metallography the recrystallized fraction was also obtained for comparison. Besides, laboratory tests simulating the industrial thermal cycles were performed and the fractional softening determined for interrupted tests.

Predictions of the anisothermal recrystallization model are in good agreement with the experimentally obtained results for the material under industrial thermal cycles. As a main objective, the model can be applied in order to estimate the temperature for 99% recrystallization as a function of the heating rate for industrial conditions.
