Original abstract

The paper describes the influence of the microstructure of (9–18%)Cr–W–Ti–Y2O3 ODS steels on their impact fracture properties. The extrusion shape plays a major role on the impact properties, materials extruded as a rod present a higher upper shelf energy (USE) and a lower ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) compared to materials extruded as plates. The DBTT for the non-recrystallized 14%Cr ferritic steels was shifted towards higher temperatures compared to the 9%Cr tempered ferritic–martensitic steel. Increasing the W and Ti content in 9%Cr tempered ferritic–martensitic ODS steel leads to a USE and a DBTT shifted towards higher energies and higher temperatures, respectively. Increasing the yttria content leads to a drop of the impact energy and a shift of the DBTT of ferritic ODS steel towards higher temperatures. The present study highlights extensive splitting of the fracture surfaces and a dependency of the impact energy on the fracture plane orientation according to the microstructure anisotropy.
