摘要
Introducing Cu nanoparticles is an effective mechanism for strengthening and toughening Fe-based materials such as ultra-high-strength steels. Herein, the effect of Cu on the mechanical properties of a novel Fe-based alpha/alpha '/alpha '' superalloy is studied. Compared to a Cu-free reference alloy, nanoindentation reveals an increase in hardness, which was associated with the formation of Cu nanoparticles. Both alloys show room temperature (RT) compressive plastic strain at maximum stress greater than 8%, irrespective of the heat-treatment. At RT and at 750 degrees C, the Cu-containing alloy exhibits a slightly higher strength, but the heat treatment has a more significant impact: A configuration of alpha-matrix and intermetallic alpha '/alpha ''-phases forming an interpenetrating network is superior to a state with isolated precipitates. This difference vanishes in monotonic creep experiments, and under the same conditions, the Cu-containing alloy exhibits a twice as high creep rate despite a slightly higher precipitate fraction. This is linked to a higher lattice misfit and faster-coarsening kinetics. Post-mortem transmission electron microscopy analysis of the creep-deformed specimens identifies dislocation bypass as the dominant deformation mechanism. However, the presence of {110} dislocations in the interfacial networks and evidence of dislocation activity within alpha '/alpha '' precipitates suggest the occurrence of shearing events.
