Abstract

Four low alloy steels with different contents of molybdenum and vanadium were investigated. The steels were annealed at 773, 793, 853, 873, 933, 973, and 993 K for 500, 1000, 3000, and 10000 h. Techniques of transmission electron microscopy and thermodynamic calculations (ThermoCalc) were used to characterise influence of the steel bulk composition and the annealing conditions on evolution of carbides M3C, M2C, M7C3, M23C6, M6C, and MC (M=metallic element). Changes in structure types and metal compositions of the carbides were characterised in detail. The work was done with the intention to obtain more information about the secondary phase evolution in low alloy steels used in energy industries.
