The ANN model reproduces the training dataset with high accuracy (R2 = 0.975; RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) = 0.19). The model can be easily implemented in finite element analysis (FEA) codes since it provides an analytical expression of the true creep rate as a function of temperature, true stress and true creep strain. In FEA simulations under the same conditions as the training dataset, the model provides times to rupture and minimum creep rates very close to those in the training dataset. The model can be adapted for heats with different properties from the average behaviour of the training dataset by means of a stress-scaling factor.","PeriodicalId":49877,"journal":{"name":"Materials at High Temperatures","volume":"123 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135341879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When this method is applied to 2.25Cr-1Mo steel and 316 H stainless steel, it was found that squared errors leads to overestimates of the average prediction error associated with a particular creep model, and it also dramatically underestimates the proportion of this error that is systematic in nature.

Due to high resistance to creep, fatigue and corrosion, the use of grade 91 and grade 92 steels allows ultrasupercritical conditions (600 °C, 300 bar). To achieve this goal the alloy design was based on the following metallurgical concepts: stable tempered martensitic microstructure, precipitation strengthening through M23C6 (Cr, Fe, Mo or W carbides) and fine MX (V, Nb carbides), solution hardening through elements as Mo or Mo/W and high Cr content. This study is focused on the microstructure evolution of grade 91 and grade 92 steels under aging and creep conditions.

The digital reconstruction is used to compare and refine conventions for determining one of the ductility candidate values, the uniform elongation, in a consistent, robust and objective way.

The creep rupture model reported here is a natural extension of the previous research. This model has been validated against experimental creep rupture data of wide-used 9–12% Cr steels. It allows the effect of variation in alloy conditions, such as composition and heat treatments, on rupture strength to be quantitatively evaluated for a given alloy grade.

Precipitation of nano MX particles with a very low growth rate improves long-term creep resistance at high temperatures. Long-term stable multiple nanoprecipitates of MX, Cu-rich, Laves and M23C6 phases can greatly contribute to the creep strength.

Component build orientation influences grain morphology and orientation, and thus, mechanical properties. While the creep behaviour of samples manufactured parallel and perpendicular to the build direction are studied intensively, the 45° build orientation remains uncharacterised. In this study, IN738LC creep samples are manufactured via PBF-LB/M in three build orientations (0°, 45° and 90°). While the results of 90° and 0° are as expected, where 90° achieves the longest time to rupture and largest rupture strain, the 45° specimen shows the least fracture time. Differences in microstructure and twinning behaviour are identified as one of the root causes for this unexpected behaviour. This study discusses the correlation between microstructure, twinning and build orientation and their effect on creep behaviour, with special focus on the 45° build orientation.KEYWORDS: Laser powder bed fusionIN738LCbuild orientationcreepmicrostructuretwinning Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).PatentsThere are no patents resulting from the work reported in this manuscript.Notes1.
