抄録

An electron microscopic study has been made of precipitation in an austenitic stainless steel, 16Cr–16Ni–0.8Nb–1.8Mo–0.06C. Attention has been focused on structural changes which take place during long ageing treatments, extended up to 14.4 Ms (4000 h). In addition to the well-known chromium rich M23C6 carbides, which appear, together with NbC, from the beginning of the precipitation treatment at 1073 K, a new plate-like morphology of M23C6 carbide precipitation was observed after long ageing treatments. These M23C6 carbide plates were formed on {110} planes in regions near pre-existing undissolved NbC particles and their edges were bounded by {111} planes of the fcc alloy matrix. It is suggested that this unexpected process might be favoured by the stresses produced around the undissolved NbC particles.
