Abstract

The transformation from short-range↔long-range order in Haynes® Alloy 242, a nominal Ni-25Mo-8Cr (in wt.%) alloy, during both continuous heating and cooling and isothermal holding at temperatures between 550 and 750°C is reported using dilatometry and microhardness measurements, and optical and transmission electron microscopy The long-range to short-range order transformation temperature was observed to increase with an increase in the degree of prior order. Aging below the transformation temperature led to considerable hardening; this hardening was associated with the formation of a very high volume fraction of Ni2Mo domains/precipitates. On aging at 700°C and below, the hardness initially increases and then levels off, with no evidence of overaging for times to 2000 hours. The role of both short- and long-range order on the transformation temperature, thermal expansion and hardening behavior and the mechanisms of transformation from short-range to long-range order were established and will be discussed.
