Investigation of the cryogenic mechanical properties of low thermal-expansion superalloys

Description

Four Fe-based superalloys, JBK-75, Incoloy 903, Incoloy 905, and Incoloy 909 were evaluated as tube materials for ICCS Nb3Sn superconductors. Evaluation consisted of 4-K tensile and elastic-plastic fracture-toughness testing, and a microstructural characterization of unwelded and autogenously gas-tungsten-arc welded sheet given a simulated postweld processing treatment of 15% cold reduction by rolling followed by a Nb3Sn-reaction heat treatment of 96 hours at 7000C plus 48 hours at 7300C. Results indicate that JBK-75 and Incoloy 903 showed satisfactory combinations of strength and toughness for ICCS tube use requiring long Nb3Sn-reaction heat treatments. Incoloy 905 welds and 909 showed unacceptable fracture toughness. Results are discussed in terms of microstructural changes caused by the extended Nb3Sn-reaction heat treatment
