Abstract: In order to investigate high temperature rupture properties of A286 alloy, the high temperature rupture tests of the A286 alloy prepared by electric arc furnace+ladle furnace+vacuum arc remelting (EAF+LF+VAR) smelting process at different temperatures and stresses were carried out, and the Larson-Miller parameter (LMP) was used to predict the rupture life of the A286 alloy, the microstructure evolution of fracture was analyzed. The results show that the relationship between stress and LMP is σ=-107.30×LMP+3011.02. The fracture mode of the A286 alloy changes from ductile fracture consisting of tough nests and holes to brittle fracture intergranular fracture as the testing temperature decreases. At high stress and low temperature, cracks are mainly generated at MC and M23C6, while at low stress and high temperature, cracks are mainly generated at lamellar η phase. The strengthening mechanism at testing temperature of 650 ℃ and stress of 450 MPa is mainly precipitation strengthening by dislocation cutting through the γ′ phase. The strengthening mechanism at testing temperature of 750 ℃ and stress of 150 MPa is precipitation strengthening by dislocation cutting through the γ′ phase and dispersion strengthening by dislocation passing the γ′ phase. The nanoparticles such as TiP2, (Ti, Nb)C, TiC, and NbC precipitated in the grains are favorable to the high temperature rupture properties.
