Abstract

The orientation relationships of M23C6 carbides in a martensitic creep resistant steel were studied. Almost all M23C6 carbides were located at (sub)grain boundaries after tempering and aging. The carbides were slightly elongated along the boundary planes and obeyed the Kurdjumov-Sachs, Nishiyama-Wassermann, and Pitsch orientation relationships as well as two new orientation relationships, that is and , with α-Fe matrix. On the other hand, the M23C6 particles in the neck portion of crept specimen lost their orientation relationships with α-Fe.
