Abstract
The structure and mechanical properties of 03Kh14G16N6Yu-type austenitic steels alloyed by molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, and zirconium are studied after normalization at 1075°C and long-term holding at 500–700°C. The chemical composition of these steels ensures the resistance of their austenite to the martensitic transformation in the temperature range from 1200 to −196°C and during cold plastic deformation at a reduction of up to 60%. The best combination of the mechanical and technological properties is achieved in a 03Kh15G17N6YuVF steel with 0.08% W and 0.12% V. Long-term (up to 1000 h) holdings at 550–750°C do not cause the precipitation of carbide, nitride, and intermetallic phases in this steel. The long-term strength of the 03Kh15G17N6YuVF steel at temperatures up to 650°C is comparable with and its plasticity and impact toughness are higher than those of high-nickel Kh16N9M2 and Kh16N12M2 steels, which are applied in the main parts of electric power installations.
