    Effect of cooling medium on microstructure evolution and tensile properties of creep-strength-enhanced ferritic steel
    (2018) Pandey C.; Saini N.; Thakre J.G.; Mahapatra M.M.; Kumar P.
    In creep-strength-enhanced ferritic steels, hydrogen-induced cold cracking of weldments is a serious issue. In the present research work, the effect of cooling medium on tensile properties and microstructure evolution of P91 steel weldments has been studied. For water-cooling condition, the diffusible hydrogen metal in deposited metal was measured by the mercury method. The microstructure of weldments in different cooling condition was characterized by using the field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and optical microscope. The fractured tensile test samples were characterized using the FE-SEM. The maximum tensile strength was measured to be 624 MPa for air-cooling medium (very low level of diffusible hydrogen). � 2018 Sociedade Portuguesa de Materiais (SPM)

    Some studies on P91 steel and their weldments
    (2018) Pandey C.; Mahapatra M.M.; Kumar P.; Saini N.
    In present research article, microstructure evolution in P91 steel and their weldments are reviewed in as-virgin and heat treatment and creep exposure condition. The thermal stability of P91 steel is derived from solid solution strengthening, sub-grain hardening and precipitation hardening. The initial microstructure plays an important role in deciding the mechanical properties of P91 steel and their weldment in long-term ageing and creep exposure condition. Effects of various alloying elements present in P91 steel and their related phase have also been discussed in details. The role of grain coarsening, Cr/Fe ratio, lath widening and dislocation density on creep rupture life of base metal and weldments are discussed. The combined effects of lath martensitic microstructure, residual stress and diffusible hydrogen content on performance of P91 steel material are also discussed. � 2018 Elsevier B.V.

    Effect of diffusible hydrogen content on embrittlement of P92 steel
    (2017) Saini N.; Pandey C.; Mahapatra M.M.
    In the present investigation, varying electrode conditions (dried and contaminated) have been employed during welding of P92 steel to study the effect of diffusible hydrogen level on hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC). Shielded metal arc welding process was employed to deposit the metal on a P92 steel plate. To evaluate HAC, the Granjon implant test with varying diffusible hydrogen content in the deposited metal was utilized. The diffusible hydrogen level was measured in the deposited metal by using the mercury method. Lower critical stress (LCS), embrittlement index (EI) and normalized critical stress ratio were evaluated from the Granjon implant test. The fracture surface morphology of fractured implant specimens has been studied by using a field emission secondary electron microscope. The P92 steel plate welded by the contaminated electrode with a high level of diffusible hydrogen was found to be more susceptible to HAC. As diffusible hydrogen content increased in the deposited metal, the LCS value and EI were observed to be decreased. � 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
