Abstract: Influence of main elements of 028 alloy on saturated solubility of nitrogen and precipitation temperature of equilibrium phase was analyzed by using Thermo-Calc software, and the tested alloys with different nitrogen contents were designed. The microstructure of the tested alloys was observed and studied by means of optical microscope and SEM. The results show that Cr, Mo and Mn promote the saturated solubility of nitrogen, Ni and Cu reduce the saturated solubility of nitrogen, Ni reduces the precipitation temperature of σ phase remarkably, but Cr and Mo increase the precipitation temperature of σ phase remarkably. The equiaxial properties of grains become better with the increase of solution temperature, and fully recrystallized equiaxial crystals are obtained at 1080 ℃. When the solution treatment temperature exceed 1110 ℃, the recovery and recrystallization of the tested alloys are complete and the grain grow rapidly. At the same solution treatment temperature, the higher the nitrogen content is, the smaller the grain of the tested alloy is, which indicates that N plays a role in grain refining.
