"Effect of strengthening mechanisms on mechanical properties of alumina" by Shengyu Zhang, Qiuzhi Gao et al.
Alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) steel, a promising candidate for use in high-temperature components of ultra-supercritical power plants, has high creep strengths and outstanding high-temperature corrosion resistance. The effects of microstructural evolution on the mechanical properties of Fe-20Ni-14Cr-3Al alumina-forming austenitic (3Al-AFA) steel with micro-cold deformation were investigated by multiple characterization methods, and the micro-cold deformation process was analyzed by conducting compression experiments. Tensile properties and hardness were also examined. The results show that ...
