Hi,
what are the likely microstructual effects that would be produced by heating a 5Cr/0.5Mo steel pipe to 700oC for several thousand hours? I am aware that the maximum operating temperature for this material is 650oC so would the extra temperature have a significnat effect? The heating medium in this case is steam.
