Alloy developers worldwide have struggled to create creep-resistant alumina-forming, iron-based austenitic stainless steels for use as high-temperature structural alloys, but with limited success in balancing alloy cost, oxidation, and creep resistance. This article describes the research and development of a novel cast alumina-forming austenitic stainless steel. This work won the prestigious Engineering Materials Achievement Award presented at IMAT 2023 in Detroit.

Alumina-forming austenitic stainless steels (AFAs) are potential materials for boiler/steam turbine applications in next generation fossil fuel power plants. They display a combination of good high temperature creep strength, excellent oxidation resistance and low cost. A recently-developed AFA alloy based on Fe-14Cr-32Ni-3Nb-3Al-2Ti (wt.%) shows better creep performance than a commercially-available Fe-based superalloy. In this paper we used scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy to study the fracture surfaces and cracking behavior in relation to the precipitates present in creep failure samples of this alloy tested at either 750°C/100 MPa or 700°C/170 MPa. It was found that most cracks are formed along the grain boundaries with precipitate-free zones beside the grain boundaries potentially providing the path for propagation of cracks.
