摘要

FeCrAl alloy is an excellent candidate material for Generation IV nuclear reactors. To investigate the difference in tensile properties of a powder metallurgy (PM)-fabricated FeCrAl alloy after isostatic pressure treatment at different temperatures, in situ tensile tests were conducted at room temperature, 500 and 700 °C. Attempt was made to clarify the correlation between microstructural evolution and tensile behavior. Then, tensile properties and fracture behavior of the PM-alloy at different temperatures were compared. Results shows that, compared to the case at room temperature, strain hardening of the alloy at 500 °C decreased markedly, while it disappeared at 700 °C. It is revealed that this is probably due to the transition in deformation mechanism from dynamic recovery to dynamic recrystallization. Moreover, the fracture mechanism of the material undergoes a significant transition with increasing temperature. Specifically, a mixed fracture was observed at room temperature and 500 °C, that is quasi-cleavage on the periphery, while transgranular ductile at the center. In contrast, intergranular and ductile fracture appeared at 700 °C. In situ defect characterization suggests that the formation of a small number of dimples within the specimen at 500 °C induced ductile fracture and peripheral quasi-cleavage fracture. With the occurrence of plastic deformation in the necking stage at 700 °C, a large number of dimples in the intergranular gradually coalescence to cause localized intergranular fracture.
