Hot Compression Test of Heat Resistant Steel

Abstract

This article deals with the analysis of formability of heat resistant steel type 9Cr-1Mo by physical laboratory simulation -hot compression test. The 9Cr-1Mo steel belongs to modern 9%Cr tempered martensitic steel for high-temperature applications in advanced thermal power plants. The shape of the sample was defined based on numerical simulations. The laboratory simulation of forming process called physical simulation -specifically hot compression test was realized in the temperature range from 500 to 950• C and total deformation in the range from 39 to 52%. Cracks formed during hot compression test in the notches are assessed. Subsequently, the relation between the compression temperature, strain, and crack length was defined. The suitable workability corresponds to the temperature range 650-900• C, it agrees with results of numerical simulations. At a temperature of 900• C there is marginal relative deformation without rupture ε = 39.9%, which corresponds to the value according to simulations NCL criteria 0.501.

Solidification Crack Evolution in High-Strength Steel Welding Using the Extended Finite Element Method

“…Zhou and Xue [18] utilized the displacement-extrapolation method for extracting SIFs. Moreover, The same method was employed to calculate the SIF by measuring the displacements at the near-tip nodes and crack length in a 3-D cracking problem [19,20].…”

Simple Methodology for Calculating the Constants of Garofalo Equation

“…For high strain temperatures and low strain rates, the condition 1 σ α   applies, (the data in row of temperature 850 °C in Table 4), therefore Eq. (1) can be reduced to the form [13] …”

“…Similarly, the data in row of temperature 650 °C in constant  of Eq. (6) [13,14]. Because the data at constant temperature were always used, the first two members on the right of equations (5) and (6) where material constant n means gradient of the line (9).…”
