In the present study we investigate the evolution of the microstructure of a 12% Cr tempered martensite ferritic steel under conditions of long-term aging and creep (823 K, 120 MPa, tR = 139,971 h). We show how subgrains coarsen, that the close correlation between carbides and subgrain boundaries loosens during long-term creep and that the frequency of small-angle boundaries increases. All these elementary deformation processes have been discussed in short-term creep studies. The present study shows that they also govern long-term creep. However, during long-term creep, precipitation and coarsening reactions occur that are not observed during short-term creep. Three types of particles (M23C6, VX and Laves-phase) were identified after long-term creep. M23C6 particles coarsen at constant volume fraction and establish their equilibrium concentration after 51,072 h; VX particles are stable; and the Laves-phase particles never reach thermodynamic equilibrium.
