This paper reviews the development of an equation for the prediction of long-term creep strain and creep life. Originally, this relationship was successfully applied to 1/2 Cr-1/2 Mo-1/4 V ferritic steel, and present data suggest similar success with the 2-1/4 Cr-1 Mo material. The implications of this extrapolation technique are discussed and the consequences for plant-life assessment are considered.

Ultrasuper critical (USC) thermal plants are now in operation around the globe. Their applications include superheaters and reheaters, which generally require high temperature/pressure conditions. To withstand these harsh conditions, an austenitic heat-resistant HR3C (ASME TP310NbN) steel was developed for metal creep resistance. As the designed life time of a typical thermal plant is 150,000 h, it is very important to predict long-term creep behavior. In this study, a three-state variable continuum damage model (CDM) was modified for better estimation of long-term creep life. Accelerated uniaxial creep tests were performed to determine the material parameters. Also, the rupture type and microstructural precipitation were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The creep life of HR3C steel was predicted using only relatively short-term creep test data and was then successfully verified by comparison with the long-term creep data.

Type IV damage has been found at several ultra-supercritical (USC) plants that used high-chromium martensitic steels in Japan, and the assessment of the remaining life of the steels is important for electric power companies. The assessment of the remaining life needs long-term creep data for over 10 years, but such data are limited. We have attempted to assess the remaining life by creep tests and by microstructural observation of Grade 91 steels welded pipes which were used in USC plants for over 10 years. Following the results of microstructural observation of USC plant pipes, we find that microstructures, especially distribution of MX precipitates, have large effect on the creep life of Grade 91 steels.

Practical time frames in newly developed steels, and technical and financial restrictions in test durations means that extrapolation of short-term laboratory test results to predict long-term high temperature service component failure is an area of concern when conducting a fitness for service or remaining life assessment. Recent literature presenting uniaxial creep and crack growth tests indicate that some materials show lower failure strains during longer term laboratory tests. The constraint based remaining failure ductility based NSW model crack prediction model has been shown to be capable of predicting upper/lower bounds of creep crack growth in a range of steels when data are obtained from relatively short to medium-term laboratory experiments (< 10,000 hours). This paper compares and analyses the response of the NSW model to predict long term creep crack propagation rates using a wide database of modified 9Cr material over s range of temperatures. The paper employs extrapolation methods of available uniaxial data to make viable conservative predictions of crack growth at high temperatures where at present no data is available.

Abstract Low stress interrupted creep test, as an interim compromise, can provide essential data for creep deformation design. However, there are no clear guidelines on the characterization of the terminating time for interrupted low-stress creep test. To obtain a suitable terminating time in terms of economy and effectiveness, long-term creep strain data of 9%Cr steels are collected from literatures and their creep deformation characterization is analyzed. First, the variations of normalized time and strain of each creep stage with the stress level are discussed. Then, the effect of the terminating time on final fitted results of Norton–Bailey equation is estimated. Third, the relationship between demarcation points at different creep stages and minimum/steady-state creep rate is analyzed. The results indicate that when the creep rupture life is considered as an important factor for creep design, the tertiary creep stage is of greatest significance due to the largest life fraction and creep strain fraction at low stress level. However, the primary and secondary creep stages are of great significance for design due to their larger contribution to 1% limited creep strain. And the long-term secondary creep data could be extrapolated by combining the primary creep strain data obtained from interrupted creep tests with the time to onset of tertiary creep derived from a similar Monkman–Grant relationship.
