Abstract

The influence of weld-simulated heat treatments of 9 to 12 pct steels is evaluated by a fundamental model for creep. The heat-affected microstructure is predicted by considering particle coarsening, particle dissolution, and subgrain coarsening. Particle coarsening is predicted for a multicomponent system, showing significant M23C6 coarsening in the bcc matrix. Dissolution simulations of MX and M23C6 are performed by considering a size distribution of particles, indicating that the smallest particles can be dissolved already at relatively low welding temperatures. Recovery in dislocation networks will take place due to the coarser particles. Creep rate modeling is performed based on the heat-affected microstructure, showing strength reduction of weld-simulated material by 12 pct at 1123 K (850 °C) and 30 pct at 1173 K (900 °C). The main cause of this degradation is believed to be the loss of the smallest carbonitrides.
