Abstract

An oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel containing Ti was prepared by powder metallurgy. The grain morphology of the ODS steel was investigated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The morphology and types of precipitates in the ODS steel were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The nano size precipitates of the ODS steel was investigated by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) technique using synchrotron radiation device. And the existence form of Y element in the ODS steel was examined by using XAFS technique. At the same time, the mechanical properties of the ODS steel were measured. The results show that the grains of the ODS steel are equiaxed, and the average grain size is 1.24×10^-6 m. The spatial density of the nano-sized precipitates rich in O, Ti and Y of the steel is 1.39×10^-24/m³, while the formed Y₂Ti₂O₇ phase presents pyrochlore structure and a small amount of a phase rich in Cr and Mn was observed too. The tensile strength of the ODS steel reaches 1324 MPa at room temperature. With the increase of test temperature, the tensile strength of the material decreases, whereas the elongation increases gradually for the ODS steel.

Key words: metallic materials microstructure synchrotron radiation oxide dispersion strengthened steel X-ray absorption fine structure small-angle x-ray scattering
