ABSTRACT
The role of BN, AlN and MnS particles on the degradation in creep life and rupture ductility has been investigated for 9 to 12Cr martensitic steels and 1Cr bainitic steel mainly at 550 to 650 oC. The BN particles form in Gr.92 and Gr.122 during normalising at around 1100 oC. The BN particles have nothing to do with the degradation in creep life. The AlN particles precipitate in the high-Al heats of 12Cr-1Mo-1 W-0.3 V steel during creep, reducing dissolved nitrogen and fine nitrides beneficial for the creep strength and degrading the creep life. The MnS particles have nothing to do with the degradation in creep life of 1Cr-1Mo-0.25 V steel. The BN, AlN and MnS particles are responsible for the degradation in reduction of area of the steels by accelerating the formation of creep voids at interfaces between the particles and alloy matrix.
