The microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained ferritic alloys containing nanoclusters (NCs) are investigated. The NCs (diameter similar to 3 nm) as well as the grain size (similar to 200 nm) remain stable at 1000 degrees C. Substantial Hall-Petch strengthening occurs at room temperature. Surprisingly, the creep rate at 800 degrees C is up to a factor of 10(8) slower than that predicted for diffusional creep. Possible reasons are the high NC coverage as well as Cr and W enrichment at the grain boundaries, and inhibition of self-diffusion. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
