Microstructural Stability of Strong 9-12Cr Steels

This article discusses the microstructural stability of strong 9-12Cr steels, focusing on the role of precipitates in achieving long-term stability. The study explores the effects of tempered martensite, tempered bainite, and other metastable phases on the stability of the steel. It also analyzes the influence of interfacial energy and diffusion on coarsening and precipitation. The results suggest that precipitates close to equilibrium, such as Laves phases and intermetallics, are required for long-term stability. The article also highlights the use of neural networks for extrapolation and the challenges of achieving long-term stability with fine or metastable precipitates.
