Abstract
Abstract Austenitic heat-resistance steel is widely employed in ultra-supercritical power generation because of its superior performance. This article reports the evaluation of creep damage of a typical Super304H austenitic heat-resistance steel by using the Kikuchi pattern parameters, such as band contrast (BC), mean angular deviation (MAD), and band slope (BS). It was found that the mean BC and MAD values did not show a monotonic changing trend and then an in-depth research that distinguished grain boundary and grain interior regions of Super304H steel was studied, respectively. The results manifested that, with the increase of creep time, both the mean BC and BS values showed a monotonic decreasing trend, while the MAD did not. Besides, compared with the BC, the change amplitude of BS was larger. The results indicate that the BS could be a useful indicator, which can be utilized to evaluate the creep degree of Super304H steel in a quantitative way.
