Raws li kev sib xyaw tshwj xeeb ntawm Gamma Prime (') Theem Precipitation thiab Applied Tensile Stress Puas Yog 316 Heater Sheath Txhim Kho Siab -Temperature Intergranular Cracking ntawm 650℃Tom qab 10,000 Teev

Cov nag lossis daus-Kev sib cuam tshuam kev ntxhov siab rau Ntev-Lub Sij Hawm Creep Embrittlement

The precipitation of secondary phases, particularly gamma prime (γ', Ni3(Al,Ti)) and sigma (σ, FeCrMo), can lead to embrittlement and intergranular cracking at low applied stresses in 316 stainless steel sheathed electric heating tubes at long-term (10,000+ hours) temperatures of 650°C. In contrast to the conventional creep behaviour of 316 controlled by chromium diffusion and dislocation climb, precipitation of small γ' particles (10-50 nm) in grains strengthens the matrix but promotes also strain localisation at grain borders. Intergranular cavities nucleate in the γ'-denuded zones near to grain boundaries under constant tensile stress (hoop stress due to thermal expansion or internal pressure) in excess of about 30-50 MPa, resulting to premature cracking. The crucial combination for 650°C service is >5,000 hours exposure with applied stress >40 MPa. Fine 'precipitates los ntawm residual aluminium (0.005-0.015%) thiab titanium (0.01-0.03%) muaj nyob rau hauv kev lag luam 316. Txawm tias 20000 teev tsis ua rau tawg rau kev ntxhov siab tsawg dua 20MPa. Nyob rau hauv daim ntawv no, qhov kev sib txuas ntawm kinetics ntawm ' nag lossis daus, thov kev ntxhov siab thiab lub sij hawm rau intergranular cracking ntawm 650℃yog quantified.

Mechanism ntawm '-Induced Intergranular Embrittlement

Kev lag luam 316 stainless hlau suav nrog cov khoom me me ntawm txhuas (feem ntau 0.005-0.015%) thiab titanium (0.01-0.03%) uas tsis tau teev lossis tswj. Cov ntsiab lus no hnov ​​​​qab nrog npib tsib xee kom zoo, coherent Ni₃ (Al, Ti) gamma prime precipitates hauv cov nplej austenite tom qab 5,000-10,000 teev ntawm 650 degree. Cov nplej sab hauv muaj zog heev los ntawm cov khoom $\\gamma'$ (30-50 HV). Txawm li cas los xij, cov cheeb tsam ncaj qha nyob ze rau thaj tsam ntawm cov qoob loo dhau los ntawm ob qho tib si 'cov qub thiab ntawm cov tshuaj ntxiv dag zog . Qhov no tsim cov cheeb tsam mos, tsis muaj zog. Nyob rau hauv kev siv tensile kev nyuaj siab, creep strain localises nyob rau hauv cov mos zones nucleating kab noj hniav uas sib koom ua ke nyob rau hauv lub grain ciam teb. Qhov tawg yog intergranular thiab tshwm sim ntawm kev ntxhov siab ntau hauv qab qhov nruab nrab creep rupture lub zog ntawm 7'-dawb 316.

Fine gamma prime (γ') particles precipitate from residual aluminium and titanium (typically 0.01-0.03% each) embrittling grain boundary regions of 316 stainless steel heater sheaths, operating at 650 °C for 10,000+ hours, resulting in intergranular cracking under applied hoop stresses as low as 30-50 MPa. Failure occurs when critical combination of >5,000 hours, stress >35-40 MPa and Al+Ti/2 >0.020% Qhov ' ntim feem pua ​​​​yog txo rau<0.5% after 10,000 hours and the threshold stress for cracking increased to >60 MPa los ntawm kev qhia 316L nrog siab tshaj plaws txhuas 0.008% thiab titanium 0.015% (Al + Ti / 2<0.016%). For service with an applied stress >40 MPa ntawm 650 degree, nws raug nquahu kom hloov mus rau 347 (niobium stabilized) lossis 310 stainless hlau (tsis muaj 'kev tsim ntawm qhov kub no).
