Conclusions
-
1.
The highest operating temperature for parts of alloy 00Kh20N45M3T with a wall thickness ∼5 mm is not over 750°C, and not over 650°C for thin-walled parts (less than 1 mm). The high deformability of the alloy at 550–750°C is due to the plasticity resulting from intracrystalline shearing and the suppression of intergranular slip.
-
2.
The austenitizing conditions for alloy 00Kh20N45M3T depend on the operating temperature. For operation at temperatures up to 650°C the austenitizing temperature is 1080°C, and at operating temperatures over 650°C it is 1200°C.
-
3.
The rate of accumulation of structural damage in thin-walled tubing during long-term strength tests depends essentially on the heat treatment. The long-term strength and time to failure are highest for the alloy with a grain size of grade 4–6.
