The stress-corrosion-crack initiation and growth-rate response was evaluated on as-received, cold-worked, and aged Alloy 22
(UNS N06022) and titanium Grade 7 in 105 °C to 110 °C, aerated, concentrated, high-pH groundwater environments. Time-to-failure
experiments on actively loaded tensile specimens evaluated the effects of applied stress, welding, surface finish, shot peening,
cold work, crevicing, and aging treatments in Alloy 22. Titanium Grade 7 and stainless steels were also included in the matrix.
Long-term crack-growth-rate data showed stable crack growth in titanium Grade 7. Alloy 22 exhibited stable growth rates under
“gentle” cyclic loading, but was prone to crack arrest at fully static loading. No effect of Pb additions was observed.

Alloy 22 (N06022) is the current candidate alloy used to fabricate the external wall of the high-level nuclear waste containers
for the Yucca Mountain repository. It was of interest to study and compare the general and localized corrosion susceptibility
of Alloy 22 in fluoride and chloride solutions at 90 °C. Standard electrochemical tests such as cyclic potentiodynamic polarization,
amperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used. Studied variables included the solution pH and the alloy
microstructure (thermal aging). Results show that Alloy 22 is highly resistant to general corrosion in all the solutions tested.
Thermal aging is not detrimental and even seems to be slightly beneficial for general corrosion at the higher solution pHs.
Pitting corrosion was never observed. Crevice corrosion was found only for high chloride-containing solutions after anodic
polarization. The presence of fluoride ions together with chloride ions seems to increase the susceptibility of Alloy 22 to
crevice corrosion compared to pure chloride solutions.

Alloy 825, a former candidate material for radioactive high-level waste containers, was investigated to assess its thermal
stability and the time-temperature conditions for sensitization. Alloy specimens with a carbon content of 0.01 wt pct in the
mill-annealed (MA) and solution-annealed (SA) conditions were studied after thermal exposure to temperatures ranging from
600 °C to 800 °C for periods of up to 1000 hours. Sensitization was evaluated by using corrosion tests that were correlated
to grainboundary chemistry analyses. Sensitized microstructures were found to contain M23C6-type carbides and a chromium-depleted region in the vicinity of the grain boundaries. Thermal aging at 700 °C for 100 hours
resulted in the highest sensitization. While heat treatment at 640 °C showed a progressive development of sensitization with
time, healing was found to occur after aging at 800 °C for 100 hours. The degree of sensitization, quantified by an equivalent
chromium-depleted-zone size, correlates well with the corrosion rate in the nitric acid test. Thermodynamic models were used
to calculate the interfacial chromium concentration, chromium depletion profile, and the depleted-zone width. Comparisons
between experimental measurements and model calculations indicate that reliable prediction depends on the selection of key
model parameters. 相似文献

The effect of annealing on the microstructure, texture, and room-temperature mechanical properties ofin situ processed copper-based microcomposites has been investigated. These copper microcomposites, containing 15 vol pct Nb, Cr,
or Ta, were produced by rolling of cast material. Annealing was carried out in vacuum for 10 hours at 250 °C, 400 °C, and
650 °C. Evidence of microstructural coarsening was found even at the lowest annealing temperature. The through-thickness microstructure
of the composites was examined by transmission electron microscopy both before and after the annealing treatments. Texture
of the as-processed micro-composites was assessed using X-ray diffraction methods. The strength of the composites following
annealing was found to scale with the melting point of the second component.

Alloy 718 samples under two initial microstructural conditions, viz., solution annealed to form only γ phase (ST) and aged
to precipitate only δ particles (DELTA), were deformed in tension till fracture in the temperatures range from 200°C–700°C.
From the comparison of the evolved microstructure of deformed and undeformed specimens that have been subjected to similar
thermal history, deformation induced precipitation could be identified. Deformation in the range of 550°C to 650°C promoted
the precipitation of γ′ and γ″ phases in both structures. In case of DELTA alloy, the γ′ precipitation was found to precede
the γ′ phase precipitation while no such preference for precipitation could be identified in ST specimens. This difference
in the precipitation behaviour and the sequence of precipitation has been explained on the basis of the relative concentration
of solutes in the matrix of the starting microstructures of ST and DELTA specimens. 相似文献

Models used to predict general corrosion damage of Alloy 22 high level nuclear waste (HLNW) containers must be deterministic,
relying upon the time-invariant natural laws, because of long time scales involved in the predictions compared with the time
over which the corrosion of this alloy has been studied. The point defect model (PDM) is one such model and requires high-accuracy
experimental data to determine model parameters that will accurately predict corrosion over the long times required for HLNW
disposal. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and steady-state polarization data were collected in deaerated 4 M
NaCl, pH 6 solutions at 30 °C and 60 °C. This work, which was carried out under a quality assurance program, emphasized data
reproducibility and adherence to the steady-state condition in order to ensure confluence between theory and experiment. Thus,
fresh electrolyte was continuously flowed through test cells allowing test specimens to remain undisturbed for up to 6 weeks
during data collection. Parameters for the PDM have been estimated by optimizing the PDM on the impedance data, and the ability
of the parameter values to account for the steady-state passive current density and barrier oxide layer thickness has been
evaluated using phase space analysis. The calculated impedance gives generally good agreement with experimental data showing
that the PDM is a valid approach.

The susceptibility of as-received, solutionized, and short-term thermally aged mill-annealed (MA) and gas tungsten arc-welded
(GTAW) alloy 22 to Pb-assisted stress corrosion cracking (PbSCC) was evaluated in supersaturated, deaerated, acidic PbCl2 solutions at 95 °C. Anodic polarization tests in acidic PbCl2 solutions showed that 16,000 ppm of Pb produced a strong anodic peak and an order of magnitude greater passive current density
for both MA and GTAW alloy 22 as compared to pure NaCl solutions. Current spikes were also observed in the anodic polarization
plots for the PbCl2 solutions, suggesting periodic events of passivity breakdown and repassivation. Constant deformation SCC tests were conducted
using double U-bend samples of as-received, solutionized, and thermally aged MA and double U-groove welded alloy 22 plates.
The results indicate that as-received, solutionized, and thermally aged MA and GTAW alloy 22 were resistant to PbSCC in supersaturated
PbCl2 solutions at 95 °C, pH 0.5, and applied potentials near the anodic peak ranging from −100 to 50 mVSCE. Enhanced dissolution of alloy 22 was also observed in the crevice region of the double U-bend samples tested in the 16,000
ppm PbCl2 solutions. This Pb concentration is seven orders of magnitude greater than that found in the anticipated repository environments,
and chemical speciation modeling showed that Pb2+ is strongly immobilized in J-13 Yucca Mountain waters through the precipitation of PbCO3 solids. Therefore, although enhanced dissolution of the inner U-bend did occur in our tests, the overall results from this
PbSCC investigation suggest that as-fabricated, solutionized, and aged MA and GTAW alloy 22 are resistant to SCC in extremely
aggressive, acidic, and supersaturated PbCl2 solutions at 95 °C. Provided that these high Pb concentrations are not attainable in the anticipated repository environments,
alloy 22 is unlikely to be susceptible to SCC, localized corrosion, and enhanced dissolution by the presence of Pb.

Multipass gas tungsten arc welds of alloy 22 were subjected to solution annealing durations of 20 minutes, 24 hours, 72 hours,
and 1 week at temperatures of 1075 °C, 1121 °C, 1200 °C, and 1300 °C. The specimens were studied in cross section by secondary
electron microscopy to determine the effect of solution annealing on tetrahedrally close-packed (TCP) precipitate stability.
Electron backscatter diffraction mapping was also performed on all of the specimens to determine the recrystallization behavior
of the welds. It was found that complete TCP precipitate dissolution occurs after solution annealing at 1075 °C and 1121 °C
for 24 hours, and at 1200 °C and 1300 °C for durations of 20 minutes. Regions of most rapid recrystallization were correlated
to the regions of lowest solute content, highest plastic strain, and highest residual stresses. Texture analysis indicated
that while the columnar dendrites originally present in the weld grew with a 〈001〉 orientation in the transverse direction
(approximately opposite the heat flow direction), the recrystallized grains adopt a 〈101〉 orientation in the transverse direction
when recrystallization and TCP phase dissolution occur simultaneously. 相似文献

Effects of Ru on the high-temperature phase stability of Ni-base single-crystal superalloys 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Microstructural instabilities associated with the precipitation of refractory-rich topologically-close-packed (TCP) phases
within the microstructure of advanced Ni-base single-crystal superalloys were quantified in two nominally identical alloys
with and without additions of Ru. Differences in the microstructural kinetics associated with the formation of TCP precipitates
in these experimental single-crystal superalloys enabled the influence of Ru to be assessed. Detailed microstructural investigations
were carried out on specimens subjected to prolonged isothermal exposures at elevated temperature. Even after 1000 hours at
temperatures in excess of 1100 °C, the microstructure of the Ru-bearing alloy was highly resistant to the formation of TCP
phases. Transmission electron micro-analysis (TEM) coupled with X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the characteristic
crystal structures of the TCP precipitates in both alloys as being primarily the orthorhombic P and tetragonal σ phase. The
sluggish precipitation kinetics of TCP phases in the Ru-bearing single-crystal Ni-base superalloy prevents the breakdown of
the parent γ-γ′ microstructure and greatly enhances the high-temperature creep characteristics. 相似文献

Alloy 22 (UNS N06022), a Ni-Cr-Mo-W based alloy, is a candidate material for the outer wall of nuclear waste package (NWP)
containers. Even though the alloy is highly stable at low temperatures, it could undergo microstructural changes during processing
such as welding and stress relieving. Formation of topologically close-packed (TCP) phases such as μ, P, σ, etc. and Cr-rich carbides could make the material susceptible to localized corrosion. Hence, it is important to correlate the
microstructural changes with the corrosion resistance of the alloy by nondestructive and rapid electrochemical tests. In this
investigation, different electrochemical test solutions were used to quantify the microstructural changes associated with
aging and welding of the wrought alloy 22. The results of double-loop (DL) electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (EPR)
tests in 1 M H2SO4+0.5 M NaCl+0.01 M KSCN solution indicated Cr depletion during initial stages of aging of wrought alloy 22. Results of EPR
tests in 2 M HCl+0.01 M KSCN solution at 60 °C correlated well with the Mo depletion that occurred near TCP phases formed
during aging of both weld and wrought alloy 22 materials. The EPR test results were compared with standard chemical weight
loss measurements specified by ASTM standard G-28 methods A and B. 相似文献

The precipitation, dissolution, and reprecipitation processes of Al2Cu (θ phase) in Al-2 wt pct Cu thin films were studied. The films were characterized in the as-deposited condition, after
annealing at 425 °C for 35 minutes, and after rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 345 °C, 405 °C, and 472 °C. In the as-deposited
samples, the precipitates had a fine even distribution throughout the thin film both at aluminum grain boundaries and within
the aluminum grains. Annealing below the solvus temperature caused the grain boundary precipitates to grow and precipitates
within the center of aluminum grains to diminish. Annealing above 425 °C caused the θ-phase precipitates to dissolve. Upon
cooldown, the θ phase nucleated at aluminum grain boundaries and triple points in the form of plates.In situ heating and cooling experiments documented this process in real time. Analytical microscopy revealed that there is a depletion
of copper at the aluminum grain boundaries in regions free of precipitates. The θ-phase precipitates nucleated and grew at
the grain boundariesvia a collector plate mechanism and drew copper from the areas adjacent to the aluminum grain boundaries.

The microstructural response of mill-annealed and solution-annealed INCONEL 600 to heat treatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Samples of INCONEL* 600 were examined in the mill-annealed and solution-annealed states, and after isothermal annealing at
400 °C and 650 °C. The corrosion behavior of the samples was examined, analytical electron microscopy was used to determine
the microstructures present and the chemistry of grain boundaries, and Auger electron spectroscopy was used to measure grain
boundary segregation. Samples of different alloys in the mill-annealed state were found to have quite different microstructures,
with Cr-rich M7C3 carbides occurring either along grain boundaries or in intragranular sheets. The corrosion behavior of the samples correlated
well with the occurrence of grain boundary chromium depletion. Solution annealing at 1190 °C caused dissolution of all carbides,
whereas at 1100 °C the carbides either dissolved or the grain boundaries moved away from the carbides, depending upon alloy
carbon content. Low-temperature annealing at 400 °C had little effect on millannealed or fully solutionized samples, but in
samples with intragranular carbides present, the grain boundaries moved until intersecting or adjacent to the carbides. Isothermal
annealing at 650 °C caused carbide nucleation and growth at grain boundaries in fully solutionized samples. Chromium depletion
at grain boundaries accompanied carbide precipitation, with a minimum chromium level of 6 wt pct achieved after 5 hours. Healing
was found to occur after 100 hours. Solution-annealed samples with intragranular carbides present had more rapid corrosion
kinetics since the grain boundaries moved back to the existing carbides. Thermodynamic analysis of the chromium-depletion
process showed good agreement with experimental measurements. The Auger results found only boron present at grain boundaries
in the mill-annealed state. Aged samples had boron, nitrogen, and phosphorus present, with phosphorus and nitrogen segregating
to the greatest extent. The kinetics of phosphorus segregation are much slower at 400 °C compared with 650 °C. 相似文献

Strain controlled low cycle fatigue tests have been conducted in air to ascertain the influence of strain rate(ε = 4 × 10-6'to 4 × 10-3 s-1) and temperature(T = 750/850/950 °C) on LCF behavior of Alloy 617. A strain range of 0.6 pct and a symmetrical triangular wave form were employed
for all the tests. Crack initiation and propagation modes were studied. Microstructural changes that occurred during fatigue
deformation were evaluated and compared with the results obtained on isothermal aging. Deformation and damage mechanisms which
influence the endurance have been identified. A reduction in fatigue life was observed with decreasing ε at 850 °C and with
increasing temperature at ε = 4 × 10-5 s-1. Cyclic stress response varied as a complex function of temperature and strain rate. Fatigue deformation was found to induce
cellular precipitation of carbides at 750 and 850 ‡. Dynamic strain aging characterized by serrated flow was observed at 750
°C (ε = 4 × 10-5 s-1) and in the tests at higher ε at 850 °C. Strengthening of the matrix due to dynamic strain aging of matrix dislocations by
precipitation of M23C6 carbides led to fracture of grain boundary carbide films formed at 750 °C, producing brittle intergranular crack propagation.
At 850 °C transgranular crack propagation was observed at the higher strain rates ε≥4× 10-4 s-1. At 850 and 950 °C even at strain rates of 4 × 10-5 s-1 or lower, life was not governed by intergranular creep rupture damage mechanisms under the symmetrical, continuous cycling
conditions employed. Reduction of endurance at lower strain rates is caused by increased inelastic strain and intergranular
crack initiation due to oxidation of surface connected grain boundaries.

Application of Alloy 800 in steam generator tubing of fast reactors, where continuous service temperature of the order of
550° is experienced, has been analyzed with respect to small variations in its chemical composition. Several laboratory melts
of Alloy 800 have been prepared and their microstructural and mechanical property changes during simple aging and creep tests
at 500 to 600° have been studied. It has been found that in the above temperature range precipitation of M23C6on the grain boundaries is independent of the Ti : C ratio generally specified for Alloy 800. Gamma prime precipitation occurred
in alloys containing as low as 0.5 pct Ti+ Al after 1000 h of aging and was accompanied with a creep ductility decline. Upon
γ precipitation creep rate was retarded and its reacceleration for test times up to 8500 h at 550° was not observed. Based
on the findings, increased Ti concentration at the expense of Al within the specified chemical composition range with carbon
content of 0.030 to 0.050 has been suggested.

The compctition between the stable α phase and metastable ω phase to precipitate in a metastableβ phase matrix was investigated in the present study. Four binary Ti-Ni alloys with compositions between 20 and 35 at. pct
Nb were air cooled to room temperature from 1000 °C and then aged at temperatures between 300 and 500 °C. For aging temperatures
of 400 °C and lower it was found that the quench before aging enabled ω phase precipitates to grow to the exclusion of α precipitates.
When specimens were directly aged at 400 °C only α precipitates were observed. Precipitates which could not be identified
using SAD were observed in specimens of the 30 and 35 at. pct Nb alloys. All precipitation reactions became more sluggish
as the niobium content of an alloy was increased. The results reported here form the second part of a study of the stable
and metastable equilibria of the Ti-Nb alloy system.

The kinetics of carbide precipitation in a fully processed 2.3 wt Pct silicon, 0.66 wt Pct aluminum electrical steel with
carbon contents of 0.005 to 0.016 wt Pct were investigated over the temperature range from 150 to 760 °C and times from 30
seconds to 240 hours. The size, morphology, and distribution of the carbide phases, as functions of aging time and temperature,
were determined by optical and transmission electron microscopy. The 1.5T core loss was also evaluated and correlated with
the changes in precipitation. Distinct C curves were observed for the formation of grain-boundary cementite at temperatures
above 350 °C and a transition carbide ({100}
α
habit plane) at temperatures below 350 °C. Grain-boundary cementite had a relatively small effect on core loss. The large
increases in core loss that accompanied transition carbide precipitation peaked at specific aging temperatures depending on
the carbon content of the steel. Once a transition carbide dispersion was initially established at a given aging temperature,
particle coarsening and core loss changes were generally insensitive to aging time. The influence of a combined addition of
silicon and aluminum on the solubility of cementite and the transition carbide in iron was estimated and discussed.

This article describes the corrosion behavior of special austenitic alloys for waste management applications. The special
stainless steels have controlled levels of alloying and impurity elements and inclusion levels. It is shown that “active”
inclusions and segregation of chromium along flow lines accelerated IGC of nonsensitized stainless steels. Concentration of
Cr+6 ions in the grooves of dissolved inclusions increased the potential to the transpassive region of the material, leading to
accelerated attack. It is shown that a combination of cold working and controlled solution annealing resulted in a microstructure
that resisted corrosion even after a sensitization heat treatment. This imparted extra resistance to corrosion by increasing
the fraction of “random” grain boundaries above a threshold value. Randomization of grain boundaries made the stainless steels
resistant to sensitization, IGC, and intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in even hot chloride environments. The
increased corrosion resistance has been attributed to connectivity of random grain boundaries. The reaction mechanism between
the molten glass and the material for process pot, alloy 690, during the vitrification process has been shown to result in
depletion of chromium from the reacting surfaces. A comparison is drawn between the electrochemical behavior of alloys 33
and 22 in 1 M HCl at 65 °C. It is shown that a secondary phase formed during welding of alloy 33 impaired corrosion properties
in the HCl environment.

The phase transformations during fabrication and aging after cold deformation in three polychrystalline copper alloys of the
Cu-Al-Ni system with shape memory effect (SME) were characterized. Some phase transformations were identified with clear repercussion
in their mechanical properties during thermomechanical treatments. Around 430 °C, mutual effects of β-phase recrystallization
and precipitation of γ2 and NiAl phases were observed. Close to 600 °C the dissolution of phase α was observed, beginning transformation into β phase
process. Brittle phases such as γ2 and NiAl began to precipitate during a short exposure time at 380 °C, 585 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C temperatures. The phase
transformations were intensified due to the plastic deformation that acted as a driving force for the diffusion processes.
The introduction of chemical elements inhibited the grain growth and increased the structural disorder generating an elevation
in the hardness property. 相似文献

The aging behavior of a Nb-Ti alloy containing 60 wt pct Ti and small additions of oxygen and erbium or scandium was characterized
and related to superconducting properties. The ternary and quaternary alloys were cold reduced and aged for various times
at temperatures between 250° and 1000°C. ω and α phase transformations and oxide precipitation processes were followed by
lattice parameter, diffraction intensity, resistivity, and metallographic studies, and correlated with superconducting critical
magnetic field and critical current density measurements. The optimum 1 hr aging temperatures for producing ω and α phase
precipitation were found to be 400° and 500°C, respectively. Aging at 1000°C produced only oxide precipitation. It was found
that oxygen, erbium, and scandium stabilize the α phase but have little effect on ω precipitation. The ω phase proved the
most effective fluxoid pinning precipitate. The fine scale dispersoid provided an extremely high number density of pinning
sites.

A mathematical model has been developed which, by means of finite difference computation techniques, permits the prediction
of carbon concentration profiles in carburized high temperature alloys. It is assumed that a proportion of the carbon which
diffuses into the alloy reacts with elements such as chromium to form carbide precipitates. The amount of carbon remaining
in solution is determined from the solubility product of the carbide. Only this carbon in solution is able to diffuse through
the alloy matrix, and thus the carbide precipitation process reduces the rate of carburization. Applying the model, the diffusion
coefficient of carbon in Alloy 800 H at 900 °C has been determined as (3.3 ± 0.5) × 10−8 cm2/s. The model can also treat the carburization of an alloy containing two carbide-forming elements, but application to alloys
containing both chromium and niobium (columbium) was successful only to a limited extent, probably as a result of the slow,
complex kinetics of carbide precipitation. The model can be used to adapt carbon concentration profiles from one geometrical
configuration to another. On the basis of profiles determined experimentally on small, cylindrical test specimens, carbon
concenration profiles have been predicted for thick section tubes of Alloy 800 H exposed to a carburizing environment for
up to 100,000 h.
