Abstract

Microstructure and phase composition of a high-chromium oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel Fe-13.5% Cr-2% W-0.3% Y2O3 without a titanium additive, as well as alloyed with 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 wt %Ti, has been studied using transmission electron microscopy. A comparison of the nanoscale state of the steels under investigation with that of an ODS Eurofer steel alloyed with 0.2 wt % V has been carried out. In all of the states found, a high number density of nanosized oxide inclusions has been observed. Upon an increase of the titanium concentration in the steel Fe-13.5% Cr-2% W-0.3% Y2O3 to 0.3 wt %, the average size of the particles decreases, while their number density grows. In this steel, single nanosized (0.1–0.7 μm) grains or their agglomerates have been found, as well as coarse (6–8 μm) grains.
