I. Gutierrez-urrutia et al., Influence of austenisation temperature and hold time on grain size of type9Cr1MoVNb ferritic-martensitic steels used in supercritical boilers, REV METAL M, 37(2), 2001, pp. 98-102
The aim of the present work is to determine the influence of austenitizing
temperature holding time and heating velocity, on grain size of ferritic-ma
rtensitic type 9Cr1MoVNb steels developed for Oak Ridge National Laboratori
es & Combustion Engineering, T91/P91([1]) Steels (USA) and X10CrMoVNb 9.1 (
Europe). The potential benefits of this material, in term of high resistanc
e, good ductily in oxidation resistance, weldability and in particular good
high temperature creep strength, are now widely acknowledged, particulary
by supercritical boilers (P = 300 bar, T = 550 +/- 50 degreesC). The studie
d steels have been produced in, high fecuency induction vacum furnaces and
hot-rolled.
