The recrystallization and oxidation of a Mn-containing interstitial free (IF) steel were investigated simultaneously using confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM) under controlled atmosphere of Ar 95% and H2 5% (in volume percent) at different temperatures. It was found that the grain boundary played a significant role in controlling recrystallization and oxidation in overall oxidation kinetics of the steel. The surface morphology was composed of two networks along the original and new grain boundaries respectively, which did not coexist. The grain boundary moved in different directions with different velocities during annealing process. The recrystallization processes were studied by CSLM motion video through observing the moving grain boundary to estimate the time for 50% recrystallization, and the activation energy for recrystallization was therefore calculated. The oxidation mechanism was discussed through comparison of the fluxes among mass transfer of water vapor, dissociation of water vapor and outward diffusion alloying elements. The results indicated that the oxidation was controlled by the mass transfer from the bulk gas to the surface, or dissociation rate, or outward diffusion of manganese, which depended on the temperature to form a grain boundary ridge or groove.

Hot compression tests of P92 steel at temperatures in the range of 1173 to 1523 K and at strain rates in the range of 0.1 to 10 s-1 were carried out on a Gleeble-3500 thermal-mechanical simulator, and the corresponding flow curves were measured. The results showed that the flow stress and the peak strain increase with decreasing deformation temperature and increasing strain rate. The critical Z value, below which the complete dynamic recrystallization may occur, was determined to have 4.61×1018. The hot deformation activation energy of the steel was about 437 kJ/mol. The hot deformation equation and the microstructure diagram of P92 steel were obtained. For the convenience of the practical application, the empirical equation for the peak stress can be described as σP=17.17ln+902499T-524.1.
