The development of GenIV nuclear systems and ultrasupercritical power plants proposes greater demands on structural materials used for key components An Fe–18Ni–16Cr–4Al 316base aluminaforming austenitic steel was developed in our laboratory Its microstructural evolution and mechanical properties during aging at 950°C were investigated subsequently Microstructural changes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy Needleshaped NiAl particles begin to precipitate in austenite after ageing for 10 h whereas round NiAl particles in ferrite are coarsened during aging Precipitates of NiAl with different shapes in different matrices result from differences in lattice misfits The tensile plasticity increases by 324 after aging because of the improvement in the percentage of coincidence site lattice grain boundaries whereas the tensile strength remains relatively high at approximately 790 MPa
