Abstract
Abstract
The evolution characteristics of the second phases in the weld seams of 2.25Cr-Mo-0.25 V steel in three states – welded, post-weld heat-treated and creep states – during manufacturing and service were evaluated by calculations and observations using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectrometry. The results showed that the second phase was M
3C in the as-welded state. The types and quantities of the precipitated phases increased greatly after post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), and M
3C, M
2C, M
7C3, M
23C6 and MX were the main precipitated phases. During PWHT, the amount of M
7C3 decreased, the amounts of M
23C6 and MX increased, and the sizes of the second phases increased. The precipitates coarsened after long-term creep, and M
7C3, M
6C, M
23C6, M
2C, and MX were the main precipitate phases in this state. The size of the MX phase remained relatively stable during long-term creep, which contributed greatly to the creep resistance.
