Alloying with tungsten, niobium and silicon enables reaching the desired combination of high oxidation resistance and creep strength by solid solution and precipitation strengthening effects. These alloying elements enhance the formation of the strengthening intermetallic (Fe,Si,Cr)2(W,Nb) Laves phase particles, finely dispersed in the matrix. The attainable oxidation and creep resistance open up numerous high-temperature application fields, such as steam transfer components in steam power plants or thermal energy conversion and storage systems. This dissertation deals with the optimisation of the chemical composition as well as with the development of an innovative thermomechanical manufacturing process of these high-chromium stainless steels, which is considerably more economical compared the conventional, solely thermal processing. The further alloy design of this steel was accomplished by thermodynamic modelling (ThermoCalc®) and the results of preliminary research and development of HiperFer (High Performance Ferritic) steels at the Steel Institute at RWTH Aachen University (IEHK) and at the Institute of Energy and Climate research (IEK) at Jülich Research Centre. The main task of the alloy optimisation was to minimise the undesirable brittle σ-phase and to maximise the phase amount of the strengthening Laves phase. Within the development of the thermomechanical manufacturing process, the impact of the forging parameters on the precipitation behaviour of the Laves phase was investigated by hot forging experiments on a laboratory scale. The precipitation states achieved were analysed and evaluated by microstructure characterisation utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and particle analysis using the ImageJ and analySISPro® software tools. The mechanical properties obtained were correlated with the chemical composition, the applied deformation parameters and the observed precipitation. The desired thermomechanically induced, finely dispersed Laves phase precipitation was achieved on a laboratory scale with a sufficiently strengthening effect compared to the conventional thermal manufacturing process. Based on these results, an up-scaling forging trial on an industrial scale was successfully provided. However, further optimisation of the process parameters remains to be undertaken. Since two alloys with a varied tungsten content were designed and produced within the scope of this dissertation, the impact of tungsten, the main Laves phase former, on the precipitation behaviour of the Laves phase and on the final strengthening effect were examined.}, cin = {522110 / 520000}, ddc = {620}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)522110_20140620$ / $I:(DE-82)520000_20140620$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-2021-10328}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/835136}, }
