Study of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of 800H Alloy During Creep.

Creep is one of the primary degradation mechanisms affecting the performance of the 800H alloy under long-term high-temperature stress conditions. Understanding the microstructural evolution during creep and developing a quantitative model to relate these changes to mechanical properties are essential for assessing creep damage and ensuring the safe operation of high-temperature equipment. By conducting a multiscale quantitative characterization of the microstructures in the 800H alloy across different creep stages, we systematically examined the evolution of various microstructural features and their influence on Young's modulus.

Revisiting the Dependence of Electrical Resistivity on Cu-Rich Precipitates in an Aged Fe-Cu Model Alloy: A Microstructure-Based Prediction Model.

Nanoscale Cu-rich precipitates (CRPs) play a crucial role in the irradiation embrittlement of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs), and binary Fe-Cu alloys serve as practical models to study the evolution of these precipitates. This study investigates the electrical resistivity of an Fe-1.17 wt.
