Tubular Specimens

Biaxial cyclic deformation and creep-fatigue data for Incoloy 800 and Type 316H stainless steel at elevated temperature are presented. Tubular specimens were subjected to constant internal pressure and strain-controlled axial cycling with and without hold times in tension as well as in compression. The results show that the internal pressure affects diametral ratchetting and axial stress range significantly. However, the effect of a relatively small and steady hoop stress on the cyclic life of the materials is minimal. A 1-min compressive hold per cycle does not seriously reduce the fatigue life of either material; a tensile hold of equal duration causes a significant reduction in life for Type 316H stainless steel, but none for Incoloy 800. Fracture surfaces of specimens made of both materials were studied by scanning electron microscopy to determine the reason for the difference in behavior.

Plastic Creep

Full life elastic-plastic-creep analyses of axially cycled pressurized tubular 316H stainless steel and Incoloy 800 specimens were run in order to evaluate creep ratcheting and creep fatigue behavior. Analytical results were obtained for the loading conditions and the 593°C (1100°F) material properties of the tests reported by Majumdar [1]. Both “book” value and other material property assumptions were used in the analyses and compared with the test results. Some conclusions from these tests are that book property analyses can, in some cases, underestimate the results. Modification of the material properties to more closely mirror actual conditions can, in some cases, greatly improve the predictions.

Creep Fatigue

A multi-axial continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model was proposed to calculate the multi-axial creep–fatigue damage of a high temperature component. A specific outer cylinder of a 1000 MW supercritical steam turbine was used in this study, and the interaction of the creep and fatigue behavior of the outer cylinder was numerically investigated under a startup–running–shutdown process. To this end, the multi-axial stress–strain behavior of the outer cylinder was numerically studied using Abaqus. The in-site measured temperatures were provided to validate the heat transfer coefficients, which were used to calculate the temperature field of the outer cylinder. The multi-axial mechanics behavior of the outer cylinder was investigated in detail, with regard to the temperature, Mises stress, hydrostatic stress, multi-axial toughness factor, multi-axial creep strain, and damage. The results demonstrated that multi-axial mechanics behavior reduced the total damage.

Creep Fatigue

The aim of this study is to investigate the creep-fatigue behavior of stainless steel materials. Based on the elevated-temperature tensile, creep and rupture test data, thermal creep-fatigue modelling was conducted to predict the failure life of stainless steels. In the low cycle thermal fatigue life model, Manson’s Universal Slopes equation was used as an empirical correlation which relates fatigue endurance to tensile properties. Fatigue test data were used in conjunction with different modes to establish the relationship between temperature and other parameters. Then creep models were created for stainless steel materials. In order to correlate the results of short-time elevated temperature tests with long-term service performance at more moderate temperatures, different creep prediction models, namely Basquin model, Sherby-Dorn model and Manson-Haferd model, were studied. Comparison between the different creep prediction models were carried out for a range of stresses and temperatures. A linear damage summation method was used to establish life prediction model of stainless steel materials under creep-fatigue.

Torsional Fatigue

This work investigates the axial-torsional fatigue and cyclic deformation behaviour of 304L stainless steel at room temperature. Four fully reversed strain-controlled loading paths (axial, torsional, proportional axial-torsional, and 90º out-of-phase axial-torsional) and a fully-reversed shear strain-controlled with static axial stress loading were investigated. For axial, torsional, torsional with static stress and few proportional experiments, an initial cyclic softening was followed by secondary hardening related to martensitic transformation. Secondary hardening was not observed for non-proportional loading nor for some proportional experiments. The influence of the non-stabilized cyclic deformation behaviour on the fatigue life estimates of two multiaxial critical plane fatigue models (Smith–Watson–Topper and Fatemi–Socie) was investigated. Life estimates based on the stress-strain hysteresis loops corresponding to the maximum softening and to the half-life were similar for the two models.

Creep Fatigue

Low cycle fatigue (LCF) and Creep-fatigue interaction (CFI) behavior of 316LN austenitic stainless steel alloyed with 0.07, 0.11, 0.14, .22 wt.% nitrogen is briefly discussed in this paper. The strain-life fatigue behavior of these steels is found to be dictated by not only cyclic plasticity but also by dynamic strain aging (DSA) and secondary cyclic hardening (SCH). The influence of the above phenomenon on cyclic stress response and fatigue life is evaluated in the present study. The above mentioned steels exhibited both single-and dual-slope strain-life fatigue behavior depending on the test temperatures. Concomitant dislocation substructural evolution has revealed transition in substructures from planar to cell structures justifying the change in slope. The beneficial effect of nitrogen on LCF life is observed to be maximum for 316LN with nitrogen in the range 0.11 - 0.14 wt.%, for the tests conducted over a range of temperatures (773-873 K) and at ±0.4 and 0.6 % strain amplitudes at a strain rate of 3*10-3 s-1. A decrease in the applied strain rate from 3*10-3 s-1 to 3*10-5 s-1 or increase in the test temperature from 773 to 873 K led to a peak in the LCF life at a nitrogen content of 0.07 wt.%. Similar results are obtained in CFI tests conducted with tensile hold periods of 13 and 30 minutes. Fractography studies of low strain rate and hold time tested specimens revealed extensive intergranular cracking.

Previous work has shown that a corrosion assessment more accurate than B31.G or RSTRENG can be made if pipeline stresses are considered. A shell analysis can be carried out if both the corrosion profile and local pipe wall stresses are known. The corrosion profile can be approximated from analysis of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signals acquired by an inline inspection tool (smart pig), but a measure of pipe wall stress has not been available. Approximations have been made based on pipe curvature, but a more direct measurement is desirable. Recent work has produced data that show a correlation between multi-level MFL signals from metal-loss defects and the stress in the pipe wall at the defect location. This paper presents the results of MFL scans of simulated corrosion defects in pipe specimens subjected to simultaneous internal pressure and four-point bending. MFL data were acquired at two different magnetic excitations using an internal scanner. The scanner’s sensor array measured axial, radial and circumferential magnetic flux components on the inner pipe surface adjacent to the defect. Comparison of the signals at high and low magnetization yields an estimate of the difference between axial and hoop stresses. If internal pressure is known, the hoop component can be determined, leaving data proportional to axial stress.
