Popis: In order to obtain the effect of second phases on Charpy impact energy and crack propagation behavior of Hastelloy N sheet, Charpy notched impact toughness test have been accomplished with different directions (RD, ND) of V-notch after solution treatment. The fracture morphology and microstructure are observed by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). It is shown that the dominant second phases in Hastelloy N after solution treatment includes molybdenum-riched Ni-Mo phase, which dissolve some elements such as chromium, silicon and ferrum, and a few carbides. The Charpy impact energy of sample 2# (RD) is 225J, almost twice as much as sample 1# (ND). Based on the reconstruction of morphology and distribution of second phases, the mechanism for effect of second phases on crack propagation behavior is discussed. The islands of second phase particles modify the stress triaxiality state, resulting in the propagation path of crack in 2# is totally different from that in 1#.
