Abstract: | The influence of two different grain shapes and carbides in the HK40 alloy,the material for use of furnace tube,on the rate of creep crack growth has been investigated.The resistance to creep crack growth of the material with columnar grains is inferior than that with equiaxial grains when the load line is perpendicular to the columnar grain axis.The influence of secon- dary carbide on the rate of creep crack propagation depends upon the Brain shape. |
