High-Cr/Ni austenitic stainless steels (ASSs) have attracted more attention as fuel cladding materials of super-critical water reactors due to their excellent comprehensive properties. In order to further improve their microstructural stability at high temperatures, the present work investigated systematically the influences of Mo/Zr contents and Zr/C ratios on the phase precipitation behaviors and mechanical properties of modified 310S ASSs. The designed alloy ingots were hot-rolled, solid-solutioned at 1423K for 0.5h, stabilized at 1173K for 0.5h, and then aged at 973K for different hours. The microstructure and precipitated phases at different heat-treatment states were characterized with OM, SEM, EPMA and TEM, respectively. All the results indicated that the excess addition of Mo and Zr and the inappropriate Zr/C ratios would promote the formation of Cr23C6, G-Ni16Si7Zr6 and (Ni,Fe)23Zr6 phases, resulting in the σ phase precipitation at the early stabilization stage. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of σ phase was discussed. The effects of the precipitated phases on the mechanical properties of alloys were then studied. It was found that the Fe-22Ni-25Cr-0.046C-0.37Mo-0.35Zr (wt%) alloy with appropriate Mo content and Zr/C ratio of 1/1 exhibits the best microstructural stability and good tensile mechanical property, in which only a few σ particles are precipitated from the matrix even after aging at 973K for 408h.
