Creep deformation behavior of SA387Gr91Cl2 heat-resistant steel used for steam cooler has been investigated. Creep tests were carried out using flat creep specimens machined from the normalized and tempered plate at 973K with stresses of 100, 125 and 150MPa. The minimum creep rate and rupture time dependence on applied stress was analyzed. The analysis showed that the heat-resistant steel obey Monkman-Grant and modified Monkman-Grant relationships.

AbstractConstant-stress compressive creep tests were carried out on an Al-rich a2 single-phase material, which had equiaxed-grains of 60μim in grain size, at 1050∼1250 K under 100∼500MPa. The type of the primary creep stage and the microstructures developed during creep depend greatly on the creep condition. The minimum creep-rate, however, can be represented by one set of parameters over the whole range of experimental condition. The stress exponent is 5.0±0.2 and the (modulus-compensated) activation energy is 360 ± 10kJ/mol. The Dorn-type plot of the minimum creep rate reveals that the normalized creep strength of fine-grained Ti-34mol%Al is not greatly different from that of disordered solid-solution hardened alloys.

AbstractImpression creep tests on a Sn-Pb eutectic alloy showed a hyperbolic sine stress dependence of impressing velocity and an activation energy of 55 kJ/mole which is independent of the punching stress. A finite element simulation showed that this phenomena could be explained by a constitutive law in which the creep rate is also a hyperbolic sine function of stress. This simulation also gives an impressing velocity which is proportional to the punch size for the same punching stress. Then by using lubrication theory, it is possible to relate this constitutive law to an interphase shearing mechanism in which the rate of interphase shear is a hyperbolic sine function of the shear stress. This theory gives a creep rate which depends inversely on the third power of grain size at low stresses.

The general objective of the research reported is to develop a constitutive theory for the elevated temperature behavior of Wrought Udiment 700. A major part of this work was to establish a data base for this material and evaluate the observed response using many of the modern approaches to constitutive modeling. The phenomenological description of the material was evaluated by a series of load rate, strain rate, and creep tests. These data clearly showed the existence of a finite primary creep rate response function similar to the minimum creep rate function. Also the concept of material stress rate coordinate is introduced to describe the change from the primary to the minimum creep rate.

AbstractHigh temperature creep and useful creep life behavior of Al-Cu-Mg (2124-T851 aluminum) alloy was investigated by conducting constant stress uniaxial tensile creep tests at different temperatures (473–563 K) and at stresses ranging from 80 to 200 MPa. It was found that the stress and temperature dependence of minimum creep rate could be successfully described by the power-law creep equation. The power-law stress exponent, n = 5.2 and the activation energy for secondary creep, Q = 164 kJ mol−1, which is close to that observed for self diffusion of aluminum (~140 kJ mol−1). The observed values of n and Q suggest that the secondary creep of 2124-T851 aluminum alloy is governed by the lattice diffusion controlled dislocation climb process. A Monkman-Grant type relationship between minimum creep rate and time for reaching 1.5% creep strain is proposed and could be employed for predicting the useful creep life of 2124-T851 aluminum alloy.

The effects of postprocessing annealing at 225 °C for 2 h on the creep properties of AlSi10Mg alloy were investigated through constant load experiments carried out at 150 °C, 175 °C and 225 °C. In the range of the experimental conditions here considered, the annealing treatment resulted in an increase in minimum creep rate for a given stress. The reduction in creep strength was higher at the lowest temperature, while the effect progressively vanished as temperature increased and/or applied stress decreased. The minimum creep rate dependence on applied stress was modeled using a physically-based model which took into account the ripening of Si particles at high temperature and which had been previously applied to the as-deposited alloy. The model was successfully validated, since it gave an excellent description of the experimental data.

AbstractIn the kinetic rate laws of internal variables, it is usually assumed that the rates of internal variables depend on the conjugate forces of the internal variables and the state variables. The dependence on the conjugate force has been fully addressed around flow potential functions. The kinetic rate laws can be formulated with two potential functions, the free energy function and the flow potential function. The dependence on the state variables has not been well addressed. Motivated by the previous study on the asymptotic stability of the internal variable theory by J. R. Rice, the thermodynamic significance of the dependence on the state variables is addressed in this paper. It is shown in this paper that the kinetic rate laws can be formulated by one extended potential function defined in an extended state space if the rates of internal variables do not depend explicitly on the internal variables. The extended state space is spanned by the state variables and the rate of internal variables. Furthermore, if the rates of internal variables do not depend explicitly on state variables, an extended Gibbs equation can be established based on the extended potential function, from which all constitutive equations can be recovered. This work may be considered as a certain Lagrangian formulation of the internal variable theory.

ABSTRACTγ-T1AI (Cr, Mo, Si, B) specimens with two different fine lamellar microstructures were produced by vacuum arc melting followed by a two-stage heat treatment. The average lamellar spacing was determined to be 200 nm and 25–50 nm, respectively. Creep tests at 700°C showed a very strong primary creep for both samples. After annealing for 24 hours at 1000 °C the primary creep for both materials is significantly decreased. The steady-state creep for the specimens with the wider lamellar spacing appears to be similar to the creep behavior prior to annealing while the creep rate of the material with the previously smaller lamellar spacing is significantly higher. Optical microscopy and TEM-studies show that the microstructure of the specimens with the wider lamellar specing is nearly unchanged, whereas the previously finer material was completely recrystallized to a globular microstructure with a low creep resistance. The dissolution of the fine lamellar microstructure was also observed during creep tests at 800 °C as manifested in an acceleration of the creep rate. It is concluded that extremely fine lamellar microstructures come along with a very high dislocation density and internal stresses which causes the observed high primary creep. The microstructure has a composition far away from the thermodynamical equilibrium which leads to a dissolution of the structure even at relatively low temperatures close to the intended operating temperature of γ-T1AI structural parts. As a consequence this limits the benefit of fine lamellar microstructures on the creep behavior.

Creep deformation property of Grade T91 steels over a range of temperatures from 550 to 625°C was analyzed by means of the empirical creep equation reported in the previous study [1]. The creep equation consists of four time dependent terms and one constant and time to rupture is estimated as a time to total strain of 10%. Accuracy of the creep equation to represent creep curve and to predict time to rupture and minimum creep rate was indicated. Times to minimum creep rate, total strain of 1%, initiation of tertiary creep and rupture were evaluated by the creep equation. Stress dependence of strains at minimum creep rate and the initiation of tertiary creep were analyzed. Contribution of four time dependent terms to the strains at minimum creep rate, total strain of 1% and initiation of tertiary creep was investigated. Three parameters to determine a temperature and time-dependent stress intensity limit, St, were compared and a dominant factor of St was examined. Heat-to-heat variation of the creep deformation property was investigated on two heats of T91 steels contain low and high nickel concentrations.
