Abstract

This paper was concerned with the effect of Mg on the temperature mechanical behavior and evaluation of the microstructure. The results showed that with increasing Mg from 0 to 47 ppm, the grain size was reduced from 64 to 38 µm and the carbides volume fraction was raised from 2.2 to 4.6 vot%. Mg changed the morphology of the carbide from a coarse and continuous one to a separate one. Mg with the mechanisms of grain boundary and matrix/carbide boundary led to changing the carbide composition and also, the mechanical properties. Mg increment from 0 to 47 ppm caused the enhancement of yield strength and rupture life from 309 to 345 MPa and from 16h to 30h, respectively. Grain size and the amount of carbide were the main factors contributing to the rupture of life properties in this study. The increment of the carbide volume fraction was the main mechanism of rupture life enhancement.
