This study investigated the mechanical properties and the influence of sigma-phase on 304H austenitic stainless steel. The results showed that the presence of sigma-phase increased the hardness and strength of the material, but decreased its ductility and impact toughness.
In this present paper, the mechanical properties of sigma-phase and its effect on the mechanical properties of 304H austenitic stainless steel after servicing for about 8 years at 680-720 degrees C were studied by nano-indentation test, uniaxial tensile test, and impact test. The results showed that the nano-hardness (H), Young's modulus (E), strain hardening exponent (n), and yield strength (sigma(y)) of sigma-phase were 14.95 GPa, 263 GPa, 0.78, and 2.42 GPa, respectively. The presence of sigma-phase increased the hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength, but greatly reduced the elongation and impact toughness of the material.
