Abstract
In this paper, two kinds of heat affected zone (HAZ) simulation structures of 347H stainless steel, which are coarse grain zone (CGZ) and unmixed zone (UZ), were prepared by thermal simulator. The material properties of toughness, reheat crack susceptibility and intergranular corrosion susceptibility of the two kinds of HAZ simulation structures were studied by impact test, high temperature tensile test, electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (EPR) test and micro morphology test. The result shows that CGHAZ had better toughness. But after the stabilizing heat treatment, it was weakened while that of the UZ was enhanced. The reheat crack susceptibility of the CGZ and UZ both increases after stabilization heat treatment, and the tendency of the UZ are more obvious. Stabilizing heat treatment has a certain effect on the prevention of sensitization process, which can improve the intergranular corrosion resistance of the material. Stabilizing heat treatment is double-edged to 347H HAZ, and it needs combined with the specific situation to used.
