Exceptional strength-ductility synergy in a RAFM steel via heterogeneous fiber-like δ-ferrite/tempered martensite microstructure
In reduced-activation ferritic-martensitic (RAFM) steels, Cr and Si addition always induced formation of δ-ferrite, a soft phase randomly distributed in tempered martensite matrix. Two types of heterogeneous 12Cr1.45Si steel (as a RAFM steel) samples were prepared in this study, with fiber-like δ-ferrite embedded in harder or softer tempered martensitic matrix, designated as T600 and T750 respectively. Both samples exhibited excellent strength-ductility synergy compared to conventional RAFM steels and some oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels. T600 achieved a high tensile strength of 1218 MPa with a total elongation of 20.2 %; T750 displayed 902 MPa with a higher elongation of 38.4 %. The synergy arises from a hetero- deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening mechanism. Additionally, fiber-like δ-ferrite aligned along the rolling direction (RD) induces grain boundary delamination, enhancing ductility furtherly.
