| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Grain boundary engineering (GBE) was applied to 9-12Cr heat-resistant ferritic steels with lath-martensite for achieving enhanced environmental durability. We could observably increase the fraction of coincidence site lattice (CSL) boundaries along the prior austenitic boundaries in martensite through a new processing route with a combination of thermomechanical treatment and martensitic transformation. In addition, the GBE could introduce a high density of subblock structure in martensite, which resulted in a homogeneous distribution of fine M23C6 precipitates in tempered martensite. These GBEed ferricitc steels showed superior resistances against high temperature creep, steam oxidation and liquid metal corrosion.
