•The HIPping parameters of the 14Cr–2W–0.3Ti–0.3Y2O3 ODS steel powder were investigated.•The density and microstructure of the tested specimens after HIPping were studied.•The mechanical properties, high temperature tensile tests, were performed.•Residual porosity was observed in all tested specimens.•HIPping pressure has negligible influence on the strength of the ODS steel however improves material ductility.
An oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic steel with a nominal composition of Fe–14Cr–2W–0.3Ti–0.3Y2O3 (in wt.%) was consolidated by hot isostatic pressing at 1150 °C under various pressures in the range of 185–300 MPa for 3 h. The microstructure, microhardness and high temperature tensile properties of the steel were investigated. With increasing compaction pressure the density of specimens also increased, however OM and SEM observations revealed residual porosity in all tested specimens and similar ferritic microstructure with bimodal-like grains and numerous of large oxide particles, located at the grain boundaries. Mechanical testing revealed that compaction pressure has negligible influence on the hardness and tensile strength of the ODS steel, however improves the material ductility.
