Heat resistant steels are significant structural material for high temperature components of steam power plants. The largest changes in their creep behaviour occur after long-term service. However, current projects (project duration 3 years) do not allow detailed study of creep mechanisms that occur at 10 000-100 000 h., such as diffusion creep. Recently, it has been found that such creep mechanisms can be investigated in materials after the application of severe plastic deformation. The application of severe plastic deformation leads to the formation of structures with different grain size, dislocation density and frequency of low-angle boundaries which allows to study the various mechanisms from dislocation creep to diffusion creep. The motivation of present project is the experimental study of creep mechanisms and microstructural changes which can influence long-term creep properties of advanced heat resistance steels. Experimental creep results will be compared with creep models. |
