The effects of molybdenum, phosphorus and of microstructure on creep were studied at 550°C utilizing the model alloys Fe—3 Cr—0.05P, Fe—3 Cr—1 Mo—0.05P and Fe—3 Cr—1 Mo. The heat treatments were varied to obtain a ferritic or bainitic structure, the effect of a preheat treatment of 300 h at 550°C was investigated. Both Mo and P increase the creep strength by different mechanisms which lead to four types of creep curves, with 1 to 3 minima. The results are discussed using microstructural information from transmission electron‐microscopy.
