Abstract
In our recent study, we have reported pioneering results on the fabrication procedures, microstructural characteristics, and room-temperature mechanical properties of highly porous Hastelloy X (H-X) alloys with spherical, open porosity of up to 70 vol%. In the present work, the high-temperature mechanical behavior of these materials is investigated at 600, 800, and 1000 °C. The obtained results revealed that our highly porous H-X alloys exhibit mechanical strength at both room and elevated temperatures that are at least one order of magnitude higher than those reported for comparable porous metallic materials in the literature. Microstructural analysis indicates that discontinuously precipitated M23C6/M6C grain boundary carbides play a dominant role in governing the mechanical response of the materials investigated.
