    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.
