Research Abstract |
In welded joint of high Cr ferritic steel that is a structural material for thermal power plant with highest efficiency, the high temperature strength degrades during long-term service, leading to a fracture of pipe. In this study, stress multiaxiality effect on microstructural changes was investigated in the welded joint. It is clarified that the stress multiaxiality promotes precipitates coarsening at a high temperature, indicating acceleration of fracture.
