Abstract

The creep properties of an 18Cr9Ni3CuNbVN austenitic stainless steel have been investigated at temperatures ranging from 923 to 1073 K and stresses from 120 to 250 MPa. The rupture lives ranged from 10 to 20,105 h. The stress dependence of the minimum creep rate obeyed a power law, with stress exponents ranging from 6 to 8.6. The activation energy was determined to be 460 to 485 kJ/mol/K. The microstructural evolution during the creep test was investigated. The V-rich Z-phase and metallic Cu precipitates began to precipitate in the middle of the creep deformation, resulting in an increase of the creep strength, while only Nb-based MX precipitates were present from the beginning of the high-temperature creep test.
