ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of the investigation was to determine and analyse the changes in the
microstructure and mechanical properties of the T92 steel after service in creep conditions of
the following parameters: temperature – 575°C, pressure – 28.2 MPa, service time – 41914 hrs.
Design/methodology/approach: The tests were performed on the test samples taken
from a pipe section of a steam superheater after long-term service. The range of the
investigations included: microstructural investigation – the optical and SEM microscopy, the
analysis of precipitation – carbide isolates, the investigation of mechanical properties: the
Vickers hardness measurement, the impact test and static tensile test.
Findings: The performed tests showed a slight degree of exhaustion of the structure of the
analysed T92 steel. The relatively small changes in the microstructure of the examined steel
were reflected in the still retained high mechanical properties.
Research limitations/implications: he analysis of the microstructure of the examined
steel using SEM was performed to determine the influence of the service on the processes
of changes in the precipitate morphology.
Practical implications: The metal science investigation of the sections taken from the
elements of the power installations after long-term service is one of the basic elements of
building the data base of materials and their joints used in the power industry. The results
obtained from the performed research constitute a building block for the degradation
characteristics of the microstructure and mechanical properties of martensitic steels of the
9-12%Cr type.
Originality/value: The results of investigation and analysis of the metallographic and
mechanical properties of martensitic T92 steel after long-term service are presented.
Keywords: Power industry, T92 steel, Microstructure, Mechanical properties, Precipitate
