0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steels are precipitation-hardened, martensitic stainless steels. These steels contain chrome, nickel, molybdenum, aluminum, titanium and vanadium as the main alloying elements. The basic mechanical properties of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) steels are tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness. The mechanical properties of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel at high temperatures depend on the microstructure and chemical composition. The microstructure of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel consists of martensite, which is the hardening phase, and retained austenite, and relatively small amounts of ferrite.

At high temperatures, the mechanical properties of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel is greatly affected by the martensitic transformation. The martensitic transformation of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel occurs when the temperature reaches above 300°C. The martensitic transformation influences the mechanical properties of the steel by increasing the strength, hardness and fatigue limit. Furthermore, precipitation hardening is an important mechanism for strengthening the 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel. At high temperatures, the precipitation hardening affects the microstructure and mechanical properties of the 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) steel, leading to an improvement in strength, yield strength and elongation.

In addition to the microstructure, the chemical composition also has a great influence on the mechanical properties of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel at high temperatures. The main alloying elements of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel are chromium, nickel, molybdenum, aluminum, titanium, and vanadium. These elements affect the mechanical properties of the steel in different ways. Chromium and nickel are important elements for improving the mechanical properties of the steel due to their ability to form a protective oxide film on the surface of the steel. Molybdenum and aluminum improve the yield strength of the steel and improves its resistance to corrosion. Titanium and vanadium also improve the strength of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steels at high temperatures.

In conclusion, the mechanical properties of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel at high temperature depend on both the microstructure and chemical composition of the steel. The microstructure of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel consists of martensite and retained austenite, and the precipitation hardening process also plays an important role in the mechanical properties of the steel. Furthermore, the alloying elements, such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, aluminum, titanium and vanadium, can improve the mechanical properties at high temperatures. Therefore, it is important to properly control the chemical composition and microstructure of 0Cr15Ni25MoTiAlVB(A-286) stainless steel in order to obtain the desired mechanical properties at high temperatures.
