CF8C-Pluscast stainless steel was developed for applications in power generation that require higher temperature capability and reliability • Some Candidate Alloy Compositions (wt%) • CF8C (Cast equivalent of 347): Fe-19Cr-10Ni-0.07C-1.0Nb-1Si-0.7Mn • CF8C-Plus: Fe-19Cr-12Ni-0.07C-0.07Nb-0.4Si-4Mn-0.3N • SiMo Cast Iron: Fe-3.45C-4Si-0.6Mo-0.3Mn • Ni-Resist: Fe-2Cr-35Ni-0.5Mn-5Si-1.9C 550C to 850oC CF8C-Plus has better creep-rupture resistance than other candidate alloys Shingledecker et al., JPVT, 2009, 131, 051404

GT2010, ASME Turbo Expo 2010: June 14-18, 2010, Glasgow, Scotland CF8C-Plus is susceptible to environmental degradation in aggressive environments which are rich in water vapor.

~15% reduction in fatigue life due to coating Macro-crack initiation coated uncoated
Higher strain energy in coated sample resulted in lower fatigue life Hysteresis loop in steady state area strain energy stored per unit volume
Faster rate of cyclic hardening in coated sample coated substrate uncoated • Residual stresses? • Dislocation motion inhibition via dislocation-dislocation, dislocation-precipitate interactions?
Fatigue crack started from the surface 1mm 1mm final separation at room temperature coated uncoated • Similar failure behavior in the coated and uncoated samples
Inter-dendritic crack-growth in uncoated and trans-dendritic crack growth in coated uncoated inter-dendritic crack fracture surface 500µm stress inner layer substrate coated trans-dendritic crack 500µm 100µm
Summary test condition: 800C, = 0.5%, R = -1, laboratory air • Pack-cementation coating reduced the low-cycle-fatigue life of CF8C-Plus by ~15% because of higher strain energy available for macro crack-initiation. • Coated sample was stiffer than the uncoated sample and had higher apparent yield strength. • The initial cyclic hardening rate of substrate increased due to coating. • Predominant crack propagation mode changed from inter-dendritic in the uncoated sample to trans-dendritic in the coated sample.
