    Abstract:

    To investigate the original as-cast microstructure of 27Cr44Ni5W3Al+MA ethylene cracking furnace tube manufactured by centrifugal casting, the phase composition and microstructure of the as-cast furnace tube were analyzed using XRD, OM, SEM and TEM. The results show that the original as-cast microstructure of the furnace tube is mainly composed of austenite matrix (γ phase) and fishbone-like multi-phase carbides at grain boundaries; the inside of the multi-phase carbides is lamellar M7C3, while the edge is blocky M23C6. In addition, two shapes of Ni3Al (γ′ phase) are observed, namely the granular phase distributed near the junction between M23C6 and matrix, and the blocky phase adjacent to M23C6. Both of M23C6 and granular γ′ have the cube-on-cube orientation relationship with the γ matrix ( , , ; , , . , , ; , , ). In addition, a large number of dislocations are observed in the as-cast microstructure, with sparse distribution away from M23C6 and dense distribution near M23C6. The precipitation mechanism of γ′ and M23C6 during centrifugal casting was also discussed. The W element reduces the lattice misfit between M23C6 and γ phase, thereby promoting the precipitation of M23C6. The chemical composition of M23C6 and γ′ phase exhibit complementarity, and the precipitation of M23C6 further facilitates the formation of γ′ phase.
