Abstract The effects of Ti and Y2O3 addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a 15Cr-1Mo steel were evaluated. The 15Cr-1Mo and 15Cr-1Mo-0.3Ti-0.35Y2O3 steels were prepared by a mechanical alloying, hot isostatic pressing and hot rolling processes. Microstructural observation of these steels indicated that the Ti and Y2O3 addition to 15Cr-1Mo steel acted to refine a grain size and to form nano-sized oxide particles such as an Y2Ti2O7. As a result, the yield and tensile strengths at room temperature and at 700 ℃ were considerably enhanced. Considerable improvement of creep properties at 700 ℃ was also observed. These improvements could be mainly attributed to the formation of nano-sized oxide particles as well as the refined grain size. It is thus concluded that the Ti and Y2O3 addition to the 15Cr-1Mo steel would be very effective in improving the mechanical properties especially at high temperatures. (Received December 05, 2014)
