Abstract The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is currently reviewing Section III, Division 5 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for potential endorsement. A prior NRC-sponsored review on the application of Section III, Division 5 design rules for elevated-temperature reactors have identified issues currently not in the code that need to be addressed. These include an insufficient knowledge of the effect of notches, structural discontinuities, and multiaxial stress. This work qualitatively evaluates Alloy 617 as notch strengthening or notch weakening and investigates the impact of multiaxial stress on Alloy 617 creep behavior. Multiaxial stress does not degrade Alloy 617’s short-term creep-rupture properties. This was concluded from the following observations: 1) multiaxial creep resided on or to the right of the Larson-Miller curve for uniaxial creep-rupture data, 2) Alloy 617 exhibited notch strengthening, and 3) creep-rupture life increased with a stronger multiaxial stress. Long-term and intermediate creep-rupture tests are in progress in order to determine whether notch behavior will cross from strengthening to weakening at lower stresses and longer rupture lifetimes. A nondestructive characterization methodology using X-ray computed tomography is explored as a means to identify the failure location on the specimen prior to rupture.

Rupture Behavior

AbstractCross-laminated timber (CLT) has been used extensively in timber construction. CLT panels are typically used in roofs and floors that carry a continuous load, and it is important to examine the long-term loading capacity of CLT. However, studies that focus on the long-term loading capacity of CLT are limited. To this end, we conducted long-term out-of-plane bending tests on seven-layer CLT made from Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) under constant environmental conditions, investigated creep performance and duration of load, and experimentally analyzed creep rupture behavior. The mean estimated relative creep after 50 years was 1.49. The sample showed a satisfactory resistance to creep as a building material. The duration of load of most of the specimens in this study was shorter than the conventional value of small clear wood specimens. Specimens had a lower duration of load capacity than solid lumber. According to the results of survival analysis, a loading level of 70% or more caused the initial failure of specimens. Creep rupture of most of the specimens occurred at less deflection than displacement at failure in the short-term loading test. Additional studies focusing on the effects of finger joints, transverse layers, and width of a specimen on creep rupture behavior are suggested.

Rupture Behavior

Creep deformation is one of the life time limiting reasons for gas turbine parts that are subjected to stresses at elevated temperatures. In this study, creep rupture behavior of uncoated and platinum-aluminide coated Rene?80 has been determined at 760?C/657 MPa, 871?C/343 MPa and 982?C/190 Mpa in air. For this purpose, an initial layer of platinum with a thickness of 6?m was applied on the creep specimens. Subsequently, the aluminizing were formed in the conventional pack cementation method via the Low Temperature-High Activity (LTHA) and High Temperature-Low Activity (HTLA) processes. Results of creep-rupture tests showed a decrease in resistance to creep rupture of coated specimen, compared to the uncoated ones. The reductions in rupture lives in LTHA and HTLA methods at 760?C/657 MPa, 871?C/343 MPa and 982?C/190 MPa were almost (26% and 41.8%), (27.6% and 38.5%) and (22.4% and 40.3%), respectively as compared to the uncoated ones. However, the HTLA aluminizing method showed an intense reduction in creep life. Results of fractographic studies on coated and uncoated specimens indicated a combination of ductile and brittle failure mechanisms for all samples. Although, the base failure mode in substrate was grain boundary voids, cracks initiated from coating at 760?C/657MPa and 871?C/343. No cracking in the coating was observed at 982?C/190MPa.

Rupture Behavior

The effect of melt treatment on the microstructure and creep-rupture behavior of M963 superalloy at 1248K under 225MPa has been investigated. The microstructure of the as-cast superalloy without melt treatment consists of γ solid solution matrix, γ´precipitate, coarse blocky MC carbide and (γ+γ´)eutectic. The striking difference in microstructure is that the melt treatment changes the MC carbide from the coarse blocky morphology into the fine script-like morphology. After heat-treated at 1483K for 4h followed by air-cooling, both the creep life and rupture elongation of the melt-treated alloy are all doubled those of the alloy without melt treatment. The mechanism of the melt treatment on the creep-rupture behavior of the M963 superalloy is discussed.

Rupture Behavior

Available equipment initially developed for welding research studies was used to investigate the creep-rupture behavior of AISI type 347 stainless steel in a very-high-temperature range from 62 to 86 percent of the solidus. Stress applications from 900 to 28,000 psi gave rupture times from a fraction of a second to several hundred seconds with thousandfold variations of minimum creep rate. Results could be presented by conventional means. Data scatter on a Monkman-Grant plot was typical. Correlation and extrapolation procedures developed by Larson-Miller, Manson-Haferd, Dorn, Korchynsky, and Conrad for conventional long-time results were found to be applicable, with preference being given to the Manson-Haferd procedures.
