The research herein was conducted to characterize the fine-scale microstructure of 2.25Cr‑1Mo‑0.25V (22V) submerged arc weld deposits and to study the influence of the microstructure on creep behavior and reheat cracking susceptibility. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy examinations concentrated on carbide morphology and evolution as a function of time and temperature, since the majority of properties that are associated with 22V weld deposits are attributable to the carbide type and location throughout the microstructure.
Five distinct carbides were observed in the range of heat treatments studied: MC, M2C, M23C6, M7C3, and M6C. It was shown that each carbide …
