Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Heat-resistant steels and alloys play important roles in high-temperature applications such as fossil fuel-fired power plants, chemical plants, airplane jet engines, etc. Despite the current strong pressure to exclude fossil fuel, especially coal, power generation, it is continuously important to make efforts to improve the heat resistance and long-term properties of the materials for higher efficiency of thermal power generation systems and also to design new materials that are adaptable to new operating conditions such as high-load fluctuation and supercritical carbon dioxide power cycles. The importance of designing new alloys and in understanding degradation mechanisms for improved jet engine operations remains unchanged due to the forecasted increase in the commercial aviation market until 2038.

This Special Issue highlights recent progress and innovations in the fields of heat-resistant steels and alloys from a wide perspective, including alloy design, characterization of microstructure formation and stability, creep deformation and fracture, creep-fatigue interaction, degradation mechanisms, oxidation, and high-temperature corrosion but not excluding other topics. This Special Issue focuses on metallic materials that include creep resistant ferritic and austenitic steels, superalloys, titanium alloys, intermetallic compounds, and refractory metals. Researchers are, therefore, encouraged to submit a research paper on their recent work but also a review paper on the topics.

Thermal-induced porosity (TIP) is one of the major defects in powder metallurgy (P/M) superalloys, and it seriously affects the performance of P/M superalloys. The effects of solution heat treatment on the growth of the TIP of the nickel-based P/M superalloy FGH97 were investigated. A series of solution heat treatment tests were carried out at holding temperatures ranging from 1150 to 1200 °C, with holding times ranging from 0.5 to 8 h. The results showed that the holding time, temperature, and the initial volume of porosity are the primary factors influencing porosity growth, and the volume fraction of TIPs increases by increasing the temperature or extending the holding time. The porosity growth models were constructed based on the porosity statistics combined with a nonlinear fitting method. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed models, the correlation coefficient (R) and average absolute relative error (AARE) were calculated between the predicted and experimental values. The unbiased AARE values were 2.06% and 3.99% for the average value of TIP and the worst value of TIP, respectively, which imply that the proposed porosity growth models have greater accuracy and can be used to illustrate TIP behavior in solution heat treatment.

Creep-rupture properties and oxidation behavior of a series of alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) alloys with variations of Cr contents, based on Fe-(13.5-18)Cr-25Ni-4Al-1.5Nb-0.1C in weight percent, have been evaluated at 850–900 °C. The study investigates material responses in the properties and microstructure through compositional modifications in AFA alloys, targeting performance optimization of alloys under high-temperature, corrosive industrial environments. The creep-rupture life of the alloys at 850 °C and 30MPa monotonically decreased with increasing Cr content, which was correlated with changes in secondary phase volume fractions, such as the reduction in B2-NiAl + Laves-Fe2Nb and increase in Sigma-FeCr with Cr content. The oxidation test at 900 °C in a water-vapor containing environment revealed a range of Cr content from 13.9 to 15.7 wt.%, enabling the formation of stable, protective external alumina scale as well as preventing internal oxidation/nitridation for up to total 7000 h exposure. On the other hand, the alloys with >16.7 wt.% Cr formed Sigma precipitates, which caused a reduction in not only Cr but also Al in the austenite matrix, resulting in less oxidation resistance than other alloys. The findings will guide the further optimization of material performance in the AFA alloy series. Full article
