Abstract

Optimizing alloy composition is an effective method to regulate the microstructure and improve the properties of superaustenitic stainless steel (SASS). In this research, 6Mo SASS containing 16 ppm and 83 ppm yttrium (Y) was prepared, and the effects of Y microalloying on secondary phase precipitation and materials performance were investigated. It was found that higher Y content could better inhibit the sigma(σ) and Cr2N phase precipitation along the grain boundary, leading to the improvement of the intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance and mechanical properties of aged steels.
