Abstract

The influence of grain and coherent precipitates sizes on strength and brittle-to-ductile transition temperature (BDTT) are studied in a Fe 78 Al 10 V 12 (A2+L2 1 ) ferritic superalloy, toward application in high-efficiency power plants. Additionally, the matrix behaviour was evaluated in a derived single-phase-bcc Fe 84 Al 8 V 8 alloy. Hot tensile tests for strength and Charpy impact tests for BDTT were carried out on samples with controlled precipitate and grain sizes. The increase in cleavage stress by precipitation strengthening follows the same behaviour that the increase in yield stress for coherent strengthened bcc-superalloys. Integration into a physical-based model, which identified a novel interplay with cleavage stress, provides enhanced BDTT predictive capability for ferritic superalloys.
