Description

This paper describes the effort made in the working group E.D.F.-C.E..A.-Industry, on the molybdenum austenitic steels in order to evaluate the best compromise between the various properties, considering the temperature conditions (350 - 5500C) and the mechanical working conditions: creep resistance, especially in the low strain range (0,1%); modification of toughness due to long holding time at high temperature; satisfactory resistance to intergranular corrosion; weldability; properties of the metal deposited in the heat affected zones; absence of cracking at high temperature

Abstract (French)

On decrit l'effort accompli au sein du Groupe de Travail E.D.F.-C.E.A.-Industrie sur des aciers austenitiques au molybdene en vue d'evaluer le meilleur compromis entre differentes proprietes, compte tenu des conditions de temperature (350 - 5500C) et de sollicitations mecaniques: resistance au fluage, en particulier dans le domaine des faibles deformations (0,1%); modification de la tenacite du fait de longs maintiens a chaud; resistance convenable a la corrosion intergranulaire; soudabilite; proprietes des metaux deposes dans les zones affectees par la chaleur; absence de fissuration
