Abstract
The influence of phosphorus on microstructural evolution and phase sta bility in type 316 Ti stainless steels has been found to be significan t during high temperature exposure. Ageing of type 316 Ti + P steels i n the temperature range 600-800 degrees C for times up to 4000 h has b een found to result in an abundant precipitation of carbide phases fol lowed by the formation of intermetallic compounds. This study shows th at the presence of phosphorus noticeably changes the precipitation beh aviour in type 316 Ti stainless steels. However, a partial redissoluti on of some precipitate phases has been found to occur for long time tr eatments at 800 degrees C.
