Abstract
Further improvement of high-temperature strength is required for the martensitic oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels that are the promising structural materials for the advanced fission and fusion reactors, since they have better formability and isotropic mechanical property emphasized as the engineering structural materials. We conducted severe hot rolling at the elevated temperature and subsequent air-cooling for the martensitic 9CrODS steels, and their tensile and creep strength recorded the highest worldwide for the engineering class of ferritic-martensitic steels. Significant strength improvement is originated by replacing the martensitic structure with a transformed coarse ferrite during hot rolling and subsequent air-cooling. The formation of the transformed coarse ferrite doesn’t follow the widely accepted ultrafine grain formation by the similar processing in the ferrite-martensite steels. New structural control and improving high-temperature strength for the ODS steels are greatly important and opened the window for realizing high-performance fission and fusion reactor materials.
