Structure and fracture mechanism of a two-phase chromium-nickel alloy during high-temperature deformation

摘要

The structure and mechanical properties of a two-phase Kh65N33V2FT alloy has been studied after tests at room and high temperatures. The morphology of the main phases, namely, solid solutions of nickel in chromium (alpha) and chromium in nickel (gamma), is changed depending on temperature. The lattice parameters of the main phases have been determined. The main mechanism of deformation for this alloy is shown to be grain-boundary sliding. Bulk and grain-boundary diffusion creep and self-regulating diffusion-viscous flow is possible in the gamma phase during high-temperature deformation. The heat resistance of this alloy is restricted to 1000A degrees C because of the formation of a gamma-phase percolation cluster.
