Mo 2 C → M 6 C carbide transformation in low alloy Cr-Mo ferritic steels

Abstract

For the materials used in the construction of power installations there are set minimum operating time requirements. The estimated operating time of such installations amounts to some 100000 h. For reasons of economy, it is sometimes necessary to extend this period. Therefore, the materials used must be characterized by considerable structural stability under the temperature and load conditions occurring in such installations.
