Effects of heat treatment on the fretting wear of inconel 690 steam generator tube

  • 1. KAIST, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The effects of microstructure on fretting wear were investigated in Inconel 690 tube. The microstructural observation indicated that the solution annealing temperature and time affected the grain size of the Inconel 690 tubes. The carbide morphology, along grain boundaries, was mainly affected by thermal treatment time and temperature. The wear test results showed that specimens with coarse carbides along grain boundaries had more wear resistance. Cracks were found in specimens with carbides along the grain boundary, while few cracks were found in carbides free specimens. It seemed that the carbides on grain boundary assisted crack formation and propagation in carbide containing specimens
