The present work investigates the role of Nb (C, N) precipitates and Cr-carbides on the high-temperature fracture behavior of Super304H steel. To accomplish this, both as-received and sensitized steels were subjected to in-situ tensile testing at 650 degrees Celsius. Both samples exhibit the formation of primary cracks along the coarse (>3 mu m) Nb (C, N) precipitates and their decohesion. Additionally, in sensitized samples, Cr-carbides embrittle the grain boundaries resulting in reduced ductility (36 %) and toughness (39 %). Moreover, fine cracks initiation/propagation along the grain boundary Cr-carbides (typically a weaker region in sensitized steels) is observed.
