    Study on effect of double austenitization treatment on fracture morphology tensile tested nuclear grade P92 steel
    (2019) Pandey C.; Mahapatra M.M.; Kumar P.; Kumar P.; Saini N.; Thakare J.G.; Kumar S.
    Effect of �conventional normalizing and tempering� (CNT) and �double austenitization based normalizing and tempering� (DNT) process on microstructure characteristic and mechanical behavior was studied forP92 steel. In CNT heat treatment, P92 steel is normalized at 1040 �C/air cool and tempered with 760 �C/2 h/air cool. In DNT heat treatment, initially normalizing was performed at 1040 �C for 1 h followed by water quenching. After that sample was normalized in the temperature range of 950�1150 �C for 1 h and tempered at 760 �C/2 h/air cool (950 �C-DNT1, 1050 �C-DNT2, 1150 �C-DNT3).Grain size for CNT and DNT1 treatment were measured 17 � 7 ?m and 12 � 5 ?m. A DNT treatment resulted in homogeneous microstructure formation that led to improved mechanical properties as compared to CNT treatment. The DN based heat treatment produced complete martensitic microstructure formation by complete dissolution of carbide precipitates. The optimized room temperature condition was obtained for the DNT 1 heat treatment. � 2018 Elsevier Ltd

    Grain refinement of P91 steel using double austenitization treatment
    (2018) Pandey C.; Mahapatra M.M.; Kumar P.; Saini N.; Thakre J.G.; Kumar P.
    The effect of conventional normalizing and tempering (CNT) and double austenitization-based normalizing and tempering (DNT) heat treatments on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of creep strength-enhanced ferritic P91 steel were studied. CNT treatment was performed at 1,050�C and air cooled for 1 h and also at 760�C and air cooled for 2 h. In double austenitization- based normalizing heat treatment, steel was austenitized at 1,050�C and air cooled for 1 h and then normalized in a temperature range of 950�C -1,150�C for 1 h followed by water quenching. After the double normalizing, tempering is performed at 760�C for 2 h. A DNT treatment resulted in homogeneous microstructure formation that led to improved mechanical properties as compared to CNT treatment. The incomplete dissolution of precipitates in single-stage tempering resulted in incomplete martensitic structure formation. � 2018 by ASTM International.
