Current technological interest in 9Cr-1%Mo steel stems from its potential use in the steam generator circuitry of the UK's fast reactor system. This note concerns the microstructural stability of a steel with a composition (wt.-%) of 0.10 C, 0.75 Si, 0.52 Mn, 9.02 Cr, 1.02 Mo, 0.27 Ni, 0.022 P, 0.002 S, 0.019 N, balance Fe, which had received heat-treatments intended to simulate the structures encountered in thin-section components following high temperature fabrication.
