摘要
Influence of Ti/Al ratios on the thermal stability of a new low cost Ni-Fe-Cr base wrought alloy,designed for application at 700℃ in advanced ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plants(700℃A-USC),was investigated both experimentally and thermodynamically. After standard heat treatment,the alloys with different Ti/Al ratios had the same microstructural characteristics. However,compared with the alloys with high Ti/Al ratio,the low Ti/Al ratio can increase the γ’-solvus temperature,decrease γ’ coarsening rate and reduce the temperature range of η phase precipitation. For the alloys with low Ti/Al ratio,the yield strength has no obvious decrease during long-term thermal exposure at 700 and 750℃,but after thermal exposure at 750℃ for 5000 h,the yield strength of the alloys with high Ti/Al ratio obviously decreases due to the η phase precipitation. The influence of h phase on mechanical properties is related with its size. When the h phase is small,it has no obvious influence on mechanical properties,but h phase becomes the crack initiation site with the further growth of η phase. It can be concluded that the decrease in Ti/Al ratio can improve the thermal stability to meet the requirement of 700℃ A-USC coal-fired power plants.
