Degradation of a Cr-Mo steel by carbide precipitation over long-term service

Microstructure of the 40-year service-exposed 1Cr-0.5Mo steel extracted from pressure vessels through the boat sampling technique was characterized using x-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, electron backscatter diffraction, focused ion beam, and transmission electron microscopy. The microstructure degradation during long-term service was identified. Statistical crystal plastic ity models were developed to correlate the microstructure and mechanical properties quantitatively. The steel is found significantly strengthened but slightly embrittled. Nanoscale Mo 2 C carbides have nucleated within the ferrite matrix over the long-term service, resulting in significant strengthening of the matrix. The coarser grain boundary Cr 23 C 6 carbides, on the other hand, act as the damage accumulation sites and lead to the degradation.

Corrosion Resistance of 309L Stainless Steel Claddings on Carbon Steel Produced with Wire-Fed Directed Energy Deposition

Additive manufacturing (AM) tools are capable of applying overlay austenitic stainless steel (SS) claddings to carbon steel components. The benefits of this approach over arc welding include a smaller heat-affected zone, residual stress reduction, and material savings. In particular, wire-directed energy deposition is a suitable technique because of its low material cost and high rate of production compared to other AM methods. However, metallurgical variations in composition, phase fraction, and microsegregation can potentially influence the corrosion behavior of such claddings. In this work, 309L SS is clad on carbon steel substrates and electrochemical methods are used to measure their general and pitting corrosion resistance in simulated marine environments (3.5 wt% NaCl solutions). Two-layer claddings are fabricated with four laser powers to understand the effects of bulk chemical composition, austenite/δ-ferrite phase fractions, and individual phase compositions on corrosion behavior. The two-layer claddings are compared to a single-layer cladding, wrought 304 SS, and the carbon steel substrate for a comprehensive assessment of corrosion performance. The two-layer claddings are remarkably resistant to general corrosion in the 3.5 wt% NaCl environment because of their high Cr content (21.6 wt% to 23.3 wt% Cr). The single-layer cladding exhibits localized corrosion at unmixed Fe-rich peninsulas that originate at the dissimilar metal boundary and protrude into the first cladding layer. All two-layer claddings possess higher pitting corrosion resistance than wrought 304 SS, demonstrating their effectiveness as a corrosion-resistant barrier. Here, the pitting corrosion resistance is superior for claddings made with lower laser powers, due to low dilution and greater δ-ferrite contents.

The effect of microstructure on the dynamic shock response of 1045 steel

Herein, the effect of microstructure on the shock response of 1045 steel is investigated via plate impact experiments and postmortem characterization. Three unique microstructures are explored: ferrite-pearlite, martensite, and ferrite with spheroidal cementite (i.e. spheroidized). Two spall recovery experiments, at approximate peak pressures of 3.2 and 3.5 GPa, are conducted to assess the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL), spall strength, and damage morphology of the various microstructures. The ferrite-pearlite and martensite microstructures exhibit continuous yielding at both quasi-static and dynamic rates, while the spheroidized condition displays discontinuous yielding. Discontinuous yielding of the spheroidized microstructure is attributed to a combined low initial dislocation density coupled with a low dislocation nucleation rate. The spall strength of ferrite-pearlite is consistently lower than the spheroidized microstructure, attributed to elongated cementite that is more susceptible to cracking than more spherical cementite precipitates. Despite a high density of boundaries, martensite exhibits the highest spall strength. A large percentage of the boundaries within the martensite microstructure are found to be low energy (i.e. Σ3 or low angle), and are thus less susceptible to spall damage. Overall, the high spall strength of martensite is likely linked to traditional strengthening mechanisms that limit dislocation motion.

Hot corrosion behavior of 304 & P91 graded composite transition joint under molten sulfate salts

A novel graded composite transition joint (GCTJ) between AISI 304 stainless steel and ASTM A335 P91 steel, has been demonstrated remarkablely superior creep performance compared to the conventional dissimilar metal weldment (DMW) under equivalent conditions. However, this advance is challenged by hot corrosion under salt deposition at elevated temperatures. Here, this study investigates the hot corrosion behavior of 304&P91 GCTJ exposed to sulfate salts at 700°C. Compared to the 304 steel, corrosion attacks initiate in the P91 triangle, where the dual-phase microstructure of ferrite and tempered martensite significantly influences pitting initiation. Anodic dissolution mainly occurs within the tempered martensite due to more vulnerable sites within the tempered martensite. With prolonged exposure, corrosion propagates across both phases, and the corrosion depth within the P91 triangle is related to the exposed surface area ratio between 304 and P91. Electrochemical analysis reveals the occurrence of galvanic corrosion between the 304 and P91, with a positive linear relationship between anodic dissolution current density (I a ) and the exposed surface area ratio between 304 and P91 in molten salts, further emphasizing the critical impact of this ratio on the corrosion severity in the P91 triangle. These findings underscore the importance of transition zone design optimization in mitigating localized corrosion.

Mitigating Scatter in Mechanical Properties in AISI 410 Fabricated via Arc-Based Additive Manufacturing Process

Wire-based metal additive manufacturing utilizes the ability of additive manufacturing to fabricate complex geometries with high deposition rates (above 7 kg/h), thus finding applications in the fabrication of large-scale components, such as stamping dies. Traditionally, the workhorse materials for stamping dies have been martensitic steels. However, the complex thermal gyrations induced during additive manufacturing can cause the evolution of an inhomogeneous microstructure, which leads to a significant scatter in the mechanical properties, especially the toughness. Therefore, to understand these phenomena, arc-based additive AISI 410 samples were fabricated using robotic gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and were subjected to a detailed characterization campaign. The results show significant scatter in the tensile properties as well as Charpy V-notch impact toughness data, which was then correlated to the microstructural heterogeneity and delta (δ) ferrite formation. Post-processing (austenitizing and tempering) treatments were developed and an ~70% reduction in the scatter of tensile data and a four-times improvement in the toughness were obtained. The changes in mechanical properties were rationalized based on the microstructure evolution during additive manufacturing. Based on these, an outline to tailor the composition of “printable” steels for tooling with isotropic and uniform mechanical properties is presented and discussed.

Exploratory screening tests of several alloys and coatings for automobile thermal reactors

A total of 23 materials (including uncoated ferritic and austenitic iron-base alloys, uncoated nickel and cobalt-base superalloys, and several different coatings on AISI 304 stainless steel) were screened as test coupons on a rack in an automobile thermal reactor. Test exposures were generally 51 hours including 142 thermal cycles of 10 minutes at 1010 + or - 30 C test coupon temperature and 7-minutes cool-down to about 510 C. Materials that exhibited corrosion resistance better than that of Hastelloy X include: a ferritic iron alloy with 6 weight percent aluminum; three nickel-base superalloys; two diffused-aluminum coatings on AISI 304; and a Ni-Cr slurry-sprayed coating on AISI 304. Preliminary comparison is made on the performance of the directly impinged coupons and a reactor core of the same material.

Myna: Connecting powder bed fusion build data to simulation tools for digital twin applications

Additive manufacturing (AM), as a digital process, can generate a detailed digital thread linking a part’s design and manufacturing to its operational performance. As AM systems advance, an increasing amount of process data is stored in manufacturing databases. In principle, this data can be utilized by simulation-based digital twin approaches, such as real-time process control and asynchronous post-processing guidance. However, few tools currently exist for systematically integrating digital thread data with computational tools. Here, in this study, we propose a software package, called Myna, for connecting data from powder bed fusion processes to simulation tools. The utility of such a platform is demonstrated using build data from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Manufacturing Demonstration Facility “Peregrine v2023-10” public dataset to automatically configure and run 54 semi-analytical 3DThesis melt pool simulations, 78 numerical Additive FOAM melt pool simulations, and 3 ExaCA microstructure simulations. The simulated, spatially registered microstructures are then compared directly with electron backscatter diffraction characterization of the corresponding as-built part locations. The resulting simulated microstructure showed variation as a function of process parameters, particularly stripe width; however, the experimental data had little variation between the microstructure texture and grain size resulting from different processing conditions. Analysis of the discrepancies suggest that it is possible a two-phase ferritic-austenitic solidification model is needed to accurately predict grain size and texture for certain stainless steel 316L feedstock compositions under powder bed fusion conditions, providing direction for future research. As illustrated here, due to the number and complexity of the simulations involved in AM process-structure–property predictions, automated methods to connect process data and simulations will remain necessary tools for testing hypotheses and implementing digital twin applications.

Aluminum addition to AISI 52100 steel: Initial assessment on impact to mechanical properties and tribological performance and pathways for improvement

Here, in the transportation industry, reducing component weight is an effective strategy to improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Martensitic AISI 52100 steel is commonly used in drivetrain bearing components due to its high strength and excellent tribological performance. To achieve lightweighting without sacrificing mechanical properties and tribological behavior, this study explored the 52100 steel alloy modified by introducing nominally 5 wt% aluminum. The addition of aluminum led to an approximately 6% density reduction, however, it resulted in reduced hardness, strength and wear resistance, in part due to stabilization of a substantial amount of ferrite, as suggested by microstructural examination. Introducing 0.15 wt% additional carbon reduced the ferrite and demonstrated feasibility of mitigating the mechanical and tribological degradation caused by aluminum. This case study provides fundamental insights into the balance between lightweighting and mechanical/tribological performance for steel alloys, serving as a reference for further development of lightweight bearing steels.

Preliminary Report on Compositional Specification for Printed 316SS

The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Program is focused on accelerating the development and deployment of advanced materials and components fabricated via additive manufacturing (AM). A key challenge for the widespread adoption of AM is the variability in material properties, which can originate from powder feedstock, process parameters, geometry, and the machine. AM powder feedstock compositions are based on those developed for conventional manufacturing. However, the smaller melt pools combined with multiple melt cycles over the course of a build can have substantial effects on the local phase selection resulting from minor batch-to-batch feedstock variability. Therefore, this report focuses on coupling CALPHAD calculations with data mining and visualization to aid the development of compositional specifications for stainless steel 316, an important alloy for nuclear applications and suitable for AM. This work reports that δ-ferrite formation has a stronger dependence on the amount of nickel in the alloy despite nickel being an austenite stabilizer. These findings show the need for exercising a tighter control on the amount of nickel in the alloy compared with the amount of chromium, which is a ferrite stabilizer.

Solidification modes during additive manufacturing of steel revealed by high-speed X-ray diffraction

Solidification during fusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) is characterized by high solidification velocities and large thermal gradients, two factors that control the solidification mode of metals and alloys. Using two synchrotron-based, in situ setups, we perform high-speed X-ray diffraction measurements to investigate the impact of the solidification velocities and thermal gradients on the solidification mode of a hot-work tool steel over a wide range of thermal conditions of relevance to AM of metals. The solidification mode of primary δ-ferrite is observed at a cooling rate of 2.12x10 4 K/s, and at a higher cooling rate of 1.5x10 6 K/s, δ-ferrite is sup-pressed, and primary austenite is observed. The experimental thermal conditions are evaluated and linked to a Kurz-Giovanola-Trivedi (KGT) based solidification model. The modelling results show that the predictions from the multicomponent KGT model agree with the experimental observations. This work highlights the role of in situ XRD measurements for a fundamental understanding of the microstructure evolution during AM and for vali-dation of computational thermodynamics and kinetics models, facilitating parameter and alloy development for AM processes.

Effect of impurities on phase transformation and precipitation in a low-carbon steel

Impurity elements have been added to a commercial low carbon steel grade to simulate the levels that could arise as a result of increased scrap recycling during steel production. In this study, continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams were constructed for the steels with varying levels of impurities, and it is shown that impurities suppress the phase transformation across a wide range of cooling rates. It was found that a step was formed in the start temperature curve, separating the reconstructive and displacive transformations. The influence of impurities on both the reconstructive transformation and displacive transformation are discussed. Additionally, Cu precipitates were observed using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) in the highest impurity-containing steel after slow cooling (0.05°C/s), fast cooling (5°C/s) and interrupted cooling. It was found that the precipitation kinetics is in the following order: cementite within the secondary phase and cementite at secondary phase-ferrite interface> ferrite grain boundaries> ferrite grain matrix. Atom-probe tomography (APT) revealed Cu precipitates formed on the surface of cementite lamellae, but not within it. This work offers insights for the phase transformation control and precipitation regulation during the thermomechanical processing of low carbon steels containing impurity elements due to scrap recycling.

Experimental and Computational Studies of Stress Corrosion Cracking of Alloys 308/309 and 82/182 Weldments in Corrosive and Radiation Environment

The goal of the project was to determine factors that influence SCC and IASCC in weldments found in LWR nuclear power plants. We focused on a SA508-304L SS weldment fabricated by EPRI using gas tungsten arc welding and used an aggressive BWR normal water chemistry (NWC) immersion environment. This weldment used 309L butter and 308L groove filler material. The microstructure of the 309L butter was non-uniform, exhibiting a 20–30μm thick martensitic layer closest to the SA508 interface, a 1–4 mm thick single γ austenite phase dilution zone, and a γ–δ duplex region extending to the 308L groove filler. The 308L groove filler had an entirely γ–δ duplex microstructure. Two approximately 1-inch thick 304L and SA508 plates approximately 12 by 6 square inches were joined using standard nuclear grade welding techniques. This included a post weld heat treatment of the 309L butter after application, a 0.32 cm fit-up root opening, and 57 bead lines of 308L groove filler applied in 18 layers. A 60 degree weld bevel angle was used and the 309L butter was 1.5 cm thick. Displacement cascade damage was induced using proton irradiation at the Michigan Ion Beam Laboratory. The incident proton energy was 2 MeV, the sample temperature was 360 ºC, and the calculated dpa value at 10 μm (60% of the Bragg peak depth of ~18 μm) was 5 dpa using the quick Kinchin-Pease model. Proton irradiation to this damage level required approximately 125 hours of beam time. Two types of samples were irradiated, tensile specimens and TEM bars. Samples were selected from all regions of the weldment, including the SA508-309L butter interface, the 309L-308L interface, and 308L-304L interface. The stainless steel alloys (304L, 308L, and 309L) within the heat affected zone are characterized by a duplex skeletal morphology of δ-ferrite and γ-austenite resulting from the recrystallization associated with weld fabrication. Approximately 7 to 8 mm of length along the specimen was irradiated. The gauge volume surfaces were mechanically polished and then electro-polished to remove mechanical damage from the mechanical polishing step prior to irradiation. Immersion tests were performed in a recirculating autoclave under BWR NWC conditions (2000 ppb wt. dissolved oxygen, neutral pH, 288 ºC, 10 MPa, and inlet water conductivity <100 nS/cm) to accelerate corrosion. Constant strain rate tests were performed either to failure or to approximately 5% strain. Strain rates of 10 -7 to 10 -6 mm/mm/s were used and typical immersion testing required four to six weeks to achieve failure or strains near 5%. Analysis primarily used advanced electron microscopy techniques of FIB lift out specimens.

Linking constituent phase properties to ductility and edge stretchability of two DP 980 steels

Two DP 980 steels were characterized with multiple methods to determine its microstructure characteristics, tensile properties and edge stretchability. The first (DP980-B) is a commercial grade DP980 steel produced by AK Steel, while the second (DP980-T) is a modification of the first one by a tempering process. Both contain two individual phases: ferrite and martensite with body centered cubic (BCC) and tetragonal (BCT) crystal structure respectively. ASTM standard tensile tests were performed for both materials, revealing that DP980-B has higher work hardening and larger total elongation than DP980-T. Standard hole piercing and subsequent hole expansion and extrusion tests were also performed. The critical hole expansion ratio (HER) of hole pierced sheet at different nominal clearances, on the other hand, show an opposite trend: the HER of DP980-T almost doubles that of DP980-B. This indicates the tensile ductility and edge stretchability are determined by different mechanisms due to different deformation modes. The ductility of sheet metal during uniaxial tension is determined by deformation instability, i.e. necking, due to less constraint at the region of deformation and fracture will occur quickly after necking. The contribution of post-necking deformation to the total elongation is insignificant for the high strength grades such as DP980 steels. The ductility during hole-expansion, however, is mainly determined by material fracture behavior that is dependent on phase property disparity and material intrinsic fracture parameters. With the individual phase properties for both DP steels determined by in situ tensile tests under high energy X-ray diffraction, the results show that DP980-T steel has lower property disparities between the two phases than DP980-B steel, due to the tempering process. This explains why the DP980-T steel has higher HER than DP980-B steel: lower phase disparity will lead to less local deformation during loading. The higher work hardening rate for DP980-B steel contributes to its higher uniform elongation compared with DP980-T steel based on the maximum load condition of deformation instability. An integrated finite element simulation framework for studying hole expansion is also presented here, based on the calculated individual phase properties from the combined high energy x-ray diffraction (HEXRD) and elastic plastic self-consistent modeling. The simulation results correlate well with the experimental results on the HER difference between the two materials.

Pyrolysis Vacuum-Assisted Plasma Ionization Ion Mobility–Mass Spectrometry for Insoluble Polymer Analysis

Wire-based metal additive manufacturing utilizes the ability of additive manufacturing to fabricate complex geometries with high deposition rates (above 7 kg/h), thus finding applications in the fabrication of large-scale components, such as stamping dies. Traditionally, the workhorse materials for stamping dies have been martensitic steels. However, the complex thermal gyrations induced during additive manufacturing can cause the evolution of an inhomogeneous microstructure, which leads to a significant scatter in the mechanical properties, especially the toughness. Therefore, to understand these phenomena, arc-based additive AISI 410 samples were fabricated using robotic gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and were subjected to a detailed characterization campaign. The results show significant scatter in the tensile properties as well as Charpy V-notch impact toughness data, which was then correlated to the microstructural heterogeneity and delta (δ) ferrite formation. Post-processing (austenitizing and tempering) treatments were developed and an ~70% reduction in the scatter of tensile data and a four-times improvement in the toughness were obtained. The changes in mechanical properties were rationalized based on the microstructure evolution during additive manufacturing. Based on these, an outline to tailor the composition of “printable” steels for tooling with isotropic and uniform mechanical properties is presented and discussed.

Investigating the effect of different shielding gas mixtures on microstructure and mechanical properties of 410 stainless steel fabricated via large scale additive manufacturing

Metal Big Area Additive Manufacturing (mBAAM) offers the potential to fabricate large scale tools at high deposition rates (15 lb/h+). 410 martensitic steel is a potential tooling material, owing to its low cost, good machinability and reasonable printability. During the mBAAM process, the shielding gas can have a significant impact on the material properties as well as the process cost. Therefore, the current study aims to understand the effect of different shielding gas mixtures on large-scale additive manufacturing of 410 martensitic stainless steel. We show that an argon mixture with 3% nitrogen gas produced the best performance in terms of maximum hardness and tensile strength, with much less scatter in tensile strength. He-Ar-CO 2 or tri-mix shielded samples showed a low tensile strength with wide scatter, due to stabilized delta ferrite in microstructure during printing. Both tri-mix and Ar-CO 2 shielded samples showed slightly higher porosity. Thus, we recommend the use of argon-3% nitrogen as a shielding gas mixture for processing 410 steel for tool applications, based on the relatively low cost of this gas mixture and the resulting higher hardness, higher dimensional stability, and lower porosity.

Microstructure and in-service degradation of baffle former bolts – in-core components of light water reactors

This report presents a microstructure evaluation of the baffle former bolt, a commercial pressurized water reactor component. Using SEM, EDS, and EBSD analysis the material was identified as AISI 316 steel with an annealed austenite microstructure. Findings include abnormal grain growth in a fraction of the grains and the absence of retained ferrite. Notable observations include an overlapping of pre- and post-irradiation deformation, including defect-free channel formation as an active deformation mechanism in the near-surface layer of BFB. Specimen surfaces, exposed to high-temperature, high-pressure water, exhibited signs of in-service corrosion degradation. EBSD and EDS analyses highlighted intergranular corrosion, possible grain boundary oxidation with depths less than 3 µm, and, unexpectedly, short cracks filled with Cr-rich oxides measuring around 5-6 µm. The presence of defect-free channels from EBSD data suggests episodes of high mechanical stresses during service. The specimens provide a potentially unique insight into the in-service degradation of NPP components, strain localization, and crack initiation processes. An intact corrosion layer reveals a complex component's in-service history. Further research is underway for a detailed analysis.

Analysis of Deformation and Fracture Mechanisms in the Harvested Low-Dose Baffle Former Bolt via Advanced Mechanical Tests

This report details the production of tensile specimens from in-service irradiated baffle former bolts (BFBs) and presents the results of a pilot in-situ SEM/EBSD test conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Low Activation Materials Development and Analysis (LAMDA) facility. The SEM/EDS results confirmed that the material is AISI 316L steel, not AISI 347, and that no Nb addition was detected in several analyzed locations. EBSD analysis of the microstructure revealed in-grain misorientation gradients indicative of cold work, likely caused by material processing, and no retained ferrite was identified. During straining, dislocation channel formation was the primary deformation mechanism, with twinning also observed in favorably oriented grains at local strains as small as ~1.5%. No strain-induced phase instability was observed, likely due to the fact that the Ni and Cr content reached the upper limits for the 316L steel specification. Multiple microfracture events were observed during the tensile test. Fine strain-induced pores formed at the channel-grain boundary intersection points, while coarser microcracks were associated with non-metallic inclusions. Data analysis is ongoing, and additional tests are planned in the near future to provide more statistics and details.

Accumulative Roll Bonding of Alloy 2205 Duplex Steel and the Accompanying Impacts on Microstructure, Texture, and Mechanical Properties

The mechanical and microstructural evolution of Alloy 2205 during severe plastic deformation is examined in this study. A combination of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and cold rolling results in the successful formation of a nanograined dual-phase microstructure of austenite and ferrite with some transformed martensite. Severe deformation to cumulative reductions of 80.5, 92.5, 95, and 97 pct were performed. Microscopy indicates that grain dimensions in the sheet normal direction is less than 100 nm for reductions ≥ 92.5 pct. Shear banding is observed at reductions ≥ 95 pct while twinning is only observed at reductions < 92.5 pct. Neutron diffraction measurements indicated the presence of martensite for reductions ≥ 95 pct at ~ 8 pct volume fraction. Taken in conjunction, it appears that during initial ARB processing, both slip and twinning are active plastic mechanisms. As twinning becomes exhausted, martensitic transformation, slip, and intermittent shear banding account for the active plasticity mechanisms. Material hardness saturates at 92.5 pct reduction, with a maximum hardness of 45 HRC. Sub-sized tensile testing confirms this approximate hardness with measurements indicating a UTS of ~ 1440 MPa. Texture analysis of crystal orientation distributions in the plate normal direction suggest an approximate Kurdjumov–Sachs orientation relationship at all reductions above 80 pct indicating stability of the orientation relationship at high strains. The intragranular structure develops a fine scale sub-grain content with increasing deformation, resulting in a continual evolution of texture up to and including 97 pct reduction. The final structure presents strong components of Goss and rotated cube texture in both the austenite and ferrite. In this body of work we aim to compare ARB of an industrially relevant FCC/BCC system (Alloy 2205) to historical model FCC/BCC systems such as Cu/Nb.
