This study investigates the steam oxidation behavior of Alloy 699 XA, a material containing 30 wt.% chromium and 2 wt.% aluminum that forms protective oxide scales in low-oxygen conditions. The research compares four variants of the alloy: conventional bulk material, a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additively manufactured version, and two modified compositions. The modified versions include MAC-UN-699-G, optimized for gamma-prime precipitation, and MAC-ISIN-699, which underwent in-situ internal nitridation during powder atomization. All variants were subjected to steam oxidation testing at 750°C and 950°C for up to 5000 hours, with interim analyses conducted at 2000 hours. The post-exposure analysis employed X-ray diffraction (XRD) to identify phase development and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) to examine surface morphology, cross-sectional microstructure, and chemical composition. This study addresses a significant knowledge gap regarding the steam oxidation behavior of 699 XA alloy, particularly in its additively manufactured state.

Damage in the grade 91 steel partially transformed zone of weld heat affected zones has historically been associated with many different types of microstructural features. Features described as being responsible for the nucleation of creep damage include particles such as laves phase, coarse M 23 C 6 , inclusions, nitrides, or interactions between creep strong and creep week grains, grain boundaries and potentially other sources. Few studies have attempted to link the observations of damage on scales of increasing detail from macro, to micro, to nano. Similarly, assessments are not made on a statistically relevant basis using 2D or 3D microscopy techniques. In the present paper, 2D assessment using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and quantification techniques such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) are utilized in combination with 3D serial sectioning of large volumes using plasma focused ion beam milling (P-FIB) and simultaneous EDS to evaluate an interrupted cross-weld creep test. Moreover, the sample selected for examination was from a feature cross-weld creep test made using a parent material susceptible to the evolution of creep damage. The test conditions were selected to give creep brittle behaviour and the sample was from a test interrupted at an estimated life fraction of 60%. The findings from these evaluations provide perspective on the features in the microstructure responsible for the nucleation and subsequent growth of the observed damage.

Prior to utilizing new advanced materials in coal power plants, a large number of experimental testing is required. Test procedures are needed in specialized high temperature laboratories with state of the art facilities and precise, accurate analytical equipment capable of performing tests at a variety of temperatures and environments. In this study, the results of a unique technique involving salt spray testing at high temperatures are presented. The Haynes 282 gamma – prime (γ’) strengthened alloy fabricated by means of three different manufacturing processes: HAYNES 282 WROUGHT alloy, Haynes 282-SINT alloy, and finally Haynes 282-CAST alloy have been tested. The materials have been exposed to a salt spray corrosion atmosphere using 1% NaCl - 1% Na 2 SO 4 . Post exposure investigations have included SEM, EDS and XRD examinations. The test using salt spray of 1% NaCl - 1% Na 2 SO 4 water solution at 550 °C for 500 hours indicted no influence on the corrosion products formation, where Cr 2 O 3 has been developed in all three alloys, whereas NiO has been found only in Haynes 282-CAST material. On the other hand, it has been found that the fabrication process of HAYNES 282 alloy strongly influences the corrosion products formation under the high temperature exposures.

The recently developed 12%Cr steel VM12-SHC is characterized by very good creep properties at temperatures up to 620°C. This new material development exhibits an excellent oxidation resistance in steam atmospheres at the typical application temperature but also at temperatures up to 650°C. In comparison to the existing 9% Cr grades T/P91 and T/P92, VM12-SHC steel opens due to its excellent oxidation behavior, new possibilities for its application as a heat exchanger boiler component. It was found that outside its application temperature range VM12-SHC also shows, as all 9-12%Cr steels, the appearance of the so called Z-phase. This effect was investigated to understand its influence on creep properties of this class of ferritic/martensitic steels aiming at controlling the microstructure stabilities for future grade developments. Creep testing has been carried out in the temperature range between 525°C and 700°C. Selected crept specimens have been investigated using light optical microscopy, SEM with EDX and TEM. In this study, the oxidation behavior of a number of typical martensitic 9-12%Cr steels was compared with the newly developed 12% Cr steel VM12-SHC. The compositions and morphologies of oxide scales formed after 5000 h exposure steels in simulated steam environments as function of temperature were characterized by light optical metallography and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).
