Previous issue date: 2016-08-05 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico (CNPq) / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior (CAPES) / O a?o EUROFER ? uma liga que foi desenvolvida para aplica??o em reator nuclear, apresentando propriedades mec?nicas compat?veis com essa utiliza??o, desde que, a temperatura de servi?o n?o ultrapasse 550?C, devido a sua baixa resist?ncia a flu?ncia. Visando melhorar as propriedades mec?nicas do EUROFER, estudos est?o sendo desenvolvidos adicionando ?tria, e o com isso tem-se um comp?sito com uma maior temperatura de trabalho, de aproximadamente 650?C. Dentro desse contexto, neste trabalho, estudou-se o efeito da adi??o de zirc?nia e da atmosfera de sinteriza??o na microestrutura e propriedades mec?nicas do a?o EUROFER processado atrav?s das etapas da metalurgia do p?. Inicialmente, foram adicionados 5%, em peso, de zirc?nia ao a?o, e realizada a moagem de alta energia em um moinho planet?rio por 5 horas com velocidade de 400rpm. Em seguida, os p?s particulados foram recozidos em forno resistivo a v?cuo a temperatura de 950?C por 30 minutos para uma melhor compacta??o. Os p?s de EUROFER puro e de EUROFER com 5% de zirc?nia mo?dos forma compactados a frio sob uma press?o uniaxial de a??o dupla com carga de 700 MPa, em uma matriz met?lica de cavidade cil?ndrica de 5 mm de di?metro. Os compactados a verde foram sinterizados em forno resistivo a v?cuo e em forno resistivo com fluxo de arg?nio a uma temperatura de 1300?C por 60 minutos com taxa de aquecimento de 10?C/min. Os p?s de partidas e os p?s mo?ods foram caracterizados por: distribui??o do tamanho de part?culas, fluoresc?ncia de raio-X (FRX), difra??o de raio-X (DRX) com refinamento, microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV) e espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EDS). E, as amostras sinterizadas foram caracterizadas por difra??o de raio-X (DRX), microscopia ?ptica (MO), microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV) e espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EDS); e, tamb?m, analisadas por ensaios de densidade, dilatometria e microdureza. Foi observado que a microestrutura inicial do EUROFER n?o se manteve durante o processamento do material, e, com isso, as suas propriedades mec?nicas apresentaram varia??es. Dessa forma, os resultados de microdureza obtidos para as amostras com adi??o de zirc?nia (fluxo de arg?nio 253,4HV e v?cuo 119,35HV), foram maiores que os de a?o puro sinterizados (fluxo de arg?nio 119,25HV e v?cuo 84,65HV). E, al?m disso, as amostras sinterizadas no forno resistivo com fluxo de arg?nio apresentaram valores de microdureza superiores as das amostras sinterizadas em forno resistivo a v?cuo. / The EUROFER is an alloy steel developed for application in nuclear reactor, with mechanical properties compatible with such a use, since the operating temperature does not exceed 550?C due to its low creep resistance. In order to improve the mechanical properties of EUROFER, studies have been developed by adding yttria, producing a composite with higher working temperature of approximately 650?C. In this work, we studied the effect of adding zirconia and sintering atmosphere on microstructure and mechanical properties of EUROFER steel processed through the steps of powder metallurgy. Initially, wt % zirconia was added to steel and high energy ball milling was performed in a planetary milling for 5 hours at 400rpm. Then the particles were annealed in a resistance vacuum furnace at 950?C for 30 minutes for better compression. The pure EUROFER powder and EUROFER with 5 wt% zirconia cold compacted under a uniaxial double-acting pressure of 700 MPa in a cylindrical metal matrix with a cavity of 5 mm in diameter. The green samples were sintered in resistance vacuum furnace and resistance furnace with argon flow at 1300 ?C for 60 minutes with a heating rate of 10 ?C / min. Primary and milled powders were characterized by particle size distribution analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) with refinement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). And the sintered samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS); and also analyzed by density measurement, dilatometry behavior and microhardness. It was observed that the initial microstructure of EUROFER did not maintain during processing of the material, and, therefore, its mechanical properties presented variations. Thus, the results of microhardness obtained for samples with zirconia (argon flow 253,4 HV and vacuum 119,35 HV) were higher than those of sintered pure steel (argon flow and vacuum 119,25HV 84,65HV) . Thus, the results of microhardness obtained for samples with added zirconia (argon flow and vacuum 253,4HV 119,35HV) were higher than those of sintered pure steel (argon flow 119,25 HV and vacuum 84,65 HV). Besides, the samples sintered in the resistance furnace under argon flow had higher hardness than samples sintered in vacuum resistance furnace.
