High temperature creep flow and damage properties of the weakest area of 9Cr1Mo-NbV martensitic steel weldments

Résumé

In the present study, creep flow and damage behaviour of modified P91 steel weldments are investigated. Premature creep failure of weldments (with respect to base metal) occurs in the intercritical heat affected zone (ICHAZ). This microstructure is reproduced by thermal simulation applied to blanks cut from the base metal. Metallurgical investigations of what happens during the welding cycle show that the weakest part of the heat affected zone is heated slightly below complete austenitisation, with little (if any) carbide dissolution. During the post-weld heat treatment, extensive recovery is allowed by carbide coarsening. The intrinsic creep behaviour of the resulting microstructure is experimentally determined under controlled constraint conditions. The welding cycle strongly decreases the creep strength by increasing the creep strain rate, but not necessarily by decreasing the ductility, at least for lifetimes up to 3 500 h.
