Interrogating the Effects of Hydrogen on the Behavior of Planar Deformation Bands in Austenitic Stainless Steel
The effects of internal hydrogen on the deformation microstructures of 304L austenitic stainless steel have been characterized using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD), high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HRSTEM), and nanoprobe diffraction. Samples, both thermally precharged with hydrogen and without thermal precharging, were subjected to tensile deformation of 5 and 20 pct true strain followed by multiple microscopic interrogations. Internal hydrogen produced widespread stacking faults within the as-forged initially unstrained material. While planar deformation bands developed with tensile strain in both the hydrogen-precharged and non-precharged material, the character of these bands changed with the presence of internal hydrogen. As shown by nanobeam diffraction and HRSTEM observations, in the absence of internal hydrogen, the bands were predominantly composed of twins, whereas for samples deformed in the presence of internal hydrogen, ε -martensite became more pronounced and the density of deformation bands increased. For the 20 pct strain condition, α '-martensite was observed at the intersection of ε -martensite bands in hydrogen-precharged samples, whereas in non-precharged samples α '-martensite was only observed along grain boundaries. We hypothesize that the increased prevalence of α '-martensite is a secondary effect of increased ε -martensite and deformation band density due to internal hydrogen and is not a signature of internal hydrogen itself.
Long-Term Creep-Rupture Behavior of Alloy Inconel 740/740H
To explore potential application of Ni-based alloys for power generation at the higher temperatures and pressures needed to achieve high thermal to electrical-energy conversion efficiency, an extensive creep-rupture dataset covering up to 875 °C and almost 70,000 h for Inconel 740/740H was analyzed using Larson–Miller parameter and Wilshire approaches. The results were used to assess the relative effectiveness of the two analytical methods, both in describing the experimental data and, because of the breadth of the dataset, using analyses of its shorter-time data to make creep lifetime predictions for much more extended times, which were then directly compared to the measured rupture times. The respective methods were also used to predict creep-limited lifetimes relevant to power production (that is, 100,000 h or greater). Despite the complexity of the precipitation-strengthened Inconel 740/740H alloy and the generalized parametric approach of these methodologies, the predictions based on such were reasonably accurate when the entire dataset was analyzed. However, when the analysis was confined to only data for conditions yielding creep-rupture times < 5,000 h( about 65 % of the entire dataset), the Wilshire correlation yielded better prediction for longer time lifetimes due to the inherent instability of the specific Larson–Miller formalism used in this analysis when extrapolated significantly outside its analysis range.

Long Term Creep Behavior of a CoCrFeNiMn High Entropy Alloy
The potential of high entropy alloys (HEAs) to meet or exceed austenitic stainless-steel performance with the additional benefit of improved hot corrosion/oxidation resistance makes FCC HEAs attractive for use in energy applications. While shorter term creep tests have been reported in the literature on HEAs, not all methodologies utilize repeatable techniques. This manuscript reports on over 23,500 accumulated hours of tensile creep testing with adherence to ASTM standards on a melt solidified ingot of CoCrFeNiMn HEA converted to wrought plate using conventional thermo-mechanical processing techniques. The typical standard creep analyses are reported, i.e., Larson-Miller parameter, Monkman-Grant relationship, activation energy for creep, and creep stress exponents were calculated and compared to previously reported short-term creep tests. Additionally, characteristics of creep fracture and microstructural evolution are reported with cursory dislocation mechanisms investigated.
Long-Term Creep Behavior of a CoCrFeNi Medium-Entropy Alloy
We report that current research shows that high-entropy alloys (HEAs) can offer superior oxidation resistance compared to more traditional austenitic stainless steels with equivalent tensile mechanical performance. While many reports have been published on creep of CoCrFeNiMn, few focus on the CoCrFeNi family of low to medium entropy alloys. In this manuscript, uniaxial tensile creep test results for more than 46,000 accumulated hours are presented on the equiatomic CoCrFeNi alloy. The alloy was manufactured at NETL using a vacuum induction melt solidification approach with a computationally designed homogenization cycle. After completing the homogenization cycle, the ingot was first hot forged and then hot rolled into 10 mm thick plate, a product form that is relevant to many industries. Creep tests were performed in the temperature range of 600-650 °C using applied stresses from 120 to 189 MPa. This study builds upon previous results on the CoCrFeNiMn family of high-entropy alloys and offers a modicum of clarification about performance compared to small button melts by using ASTM standard test procedures and mechanical test specimens. The apparent creep activation energy and creep stress exponent were similar to those for CoCrFe medium-entropy and CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloys. The post-test creep microstructure showed some Cr segregation, which has also been noted for other CoCrFe alloys. The CoCrFeNi alloy also presents a double minimum or two minimum creep rate phenomena.
