Abstract
Positron annihilation (PA) studies are carried on two ferritc/martensitic steels (modified 9Cr-1Mo and EUROFER97) and Fe-9Cr binary alloy. Normalized modified 9Cr-1Mo steel is subjected to isochronal heat treatments between 300 K – 1273 K with PA studies at different intervals. Due to changes in the concentration of positron trapping open volume defects associated, different stages of the microstructural changes are identified. These results are corroborated with scanning electron microscopy studies. In EUROFER97 steel, the relative increase in precipitate number density due to the additional cold-work (after normalization) is brought out. In binary Fe-9Cr alloy, which is the model alloy of 9Cr ferritic/martensitic steels, the effect of dislocations on Cr segregation is brought out by studying alloys with two different initial conditions of varying dislocation densities.
