Abstract
In order to design a new kind of low-cost high-temperature ferrite-austenite duplex alloy, the effects of carbon and chromium on the alloy solidification structure and properties have been investigated with orthogonal experiments. The addition of carbon promotes strongly the formation of austenite and that of carbides in the alloy solidification structure and refines the alloy grains. With the increase of carbon content, the alloy high temperature strength and oxidation resistance at 1250°C improves at first, but then begins to deteriorate greatly when the carbon content exceeds 0.15%. The addition of chromium facilitates the formation of ferrite in the alloy solidification structure. As the chromium content increases, the alloy rupture strength at 1250°C initially is enhanced, but then reduces rapidly, while the alloy oxidation resistance improves continuously.
