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 experiments were performed at 850℃ on bare and salt-coated directionally solidified Ni-based superalloy DZ125. Experimental test results showed that the salt-coated sample exhibited lower lifetime than that of the bare sample under all stress conditions. This reduction is found to correlate directly with the higher probability of crack initiation, due to surface micro-structural degradation and higher actual stress as a result of the decrease in effective bearing area. A modified damage accumulation model considering the creep, fatigue, and hot-corrosion interaction effect was proposed to predict the corrosion–creep–fatigue lifetime. In this model, a critical high-temperature hot-corrosion exposure time was proposed and was introduced using the Miller linear damage accumulation model. The predicted lifetimes correspond remarkably well with the experimental results.

The aim of this study was to investigate the cyclic creep–fatigue interaction behavior in a steam turbine inlet valve under cyclic thermomechanical loading conditions. Three years and nine iterations of idealized startup–steady-state operation–shutdown process were chosen. The Ramberg–Osgood model, the Norton–Bailey law, and continuum damage mechanics were applied to describe the stress–strain behavior and calculate the damage. The strength of the steam valve revealed that significant stress variation mainly occurred at the joint parts between the valve diffuser and the adjust valve body, due to the combination of the enhanced turbulent flow and assembly force at these areas. The contact stress at the region of component assembly was sensitive to the cyclic loading at the initial iterations. The maximum decrease amplitude in the normalized contact stress between the second and the fourth iterations reached 0.12. The damage analysis disclosed that the notch of the deflector in the adjust valve had the maximum damage due to the stress concentration.

Components of conventional power plants are subject to potential damage mechanisms such as creep, fatigue and their combination. These mechanisms have to be considered in the mechanical design process. Against this general background — as an example — the paper focusses on the low cycle fatigue behavior of a main steam shut off valve. The first design check based on standard design rules and linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) identifies fatigue sensitive locations and potentially high fatigue usage. This will often occur in the context of flexible operational modes of combined cycle power plants which are a characteristic of the current demands of energy supply. In such a case a margin analysis constitutes a logical second step. It may comprise the identification of a more realistic description of the real operational loads and load-time histories and a refinement of the (creep-) fatigue assessment methods. This constitutes the basis of an advanced component design and assessment. In this work, nonlinear FEA is applied based on a nonlinear kinematic constitutive material model, in order to simulate the thermo-mechanical behavior of the high-Cr steel component mentioned above. The required material parameters are identified based on data of the accessible reference literature and data from an own test series. The accompanying testing campaign was successfully concluded by a series of uniaxial thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) tests simulating the most critical load case of the component. This detailed and hybrid approach proved to be appropriate for ensuring the required lifetime period of the component.

The creep-fatigue crack growth problem remains challenging since materials exhibit different linear and nonlinear behaviors depending on the environmental and loading conditions. In this paper, we systematically carried out a series of creep-fatigue crack growth experiments to evaluate the influence from temperature, stress ratio, and dwell time for the nickel-based superalloy GH4720Li. A transition from coupled fatigue-dominated fracture to creep-dominated fracture was observed with the increase of dwell time at 600 °C, while only the creep-dominated fracture existed at 700 °C, regardless of the dwell time. A concise binomial crack growth model was constructed on the basis of existing phenomenal models, where the linear terms are included to express the behavior under pure creep loading, and the nonlinear terms were introduced to represent the behavior near the fracture toughness and during the creep-fatigue interaction. Through the model implementation and validation of the proposed model, the correlation coefficient is higher than 0.9 on ten out of twelve sets of experimental data, revealing the accuracy of the proposed model. This work contributes to an enrichment of creep-fatigue crack growth data in the typical nickel-based superalloy at elevated temperatures and could be referable in the modeling for damage tolerance assessment of turbine disks.
