Alloy 617 is the leading candidate material for an intermediate heat exchanger for the very high temperature reactor (VHTR). As part of evaluating the behavior of this material in the expected service conditions, creep–fatigue testing was performed. The cycles to failure decreased compared to fatigue values when a hold time was added at peak tensile strain. At 850°C, increasing the tensile hold duration continued to degrade the creep–fatigue resistance, at least to the investigated strain–controlled hold time of up to 60 minutes at the 0.3% strain range and 240 minutes at the 1.0% strain range. At 950°C, the creep–fatigue cycles to failure are not further reduced with increasing hold duration, indicating saturation occurs at relatively short hold times. The creep and fatigue damage fractions have been calculated and plotted on a creep–fatigue interaction D–diagram. Test data from creep–fatigue tests at 800 and 1000°C on an additional heat of Alloy 617 are also plotted on the D–diagram.

The damage concept has been developed in terms of strain range in order to give a unified approach to high temperature failure. Interactive tests have been carried out on OFHC copper at 540°C and Sanicro 31 (Alloy 800) at 600°C. For the former, combined strain controlled low frequency and high frequency tests were undertaken whereas the latter metal was subjected to sequential tests involving monotonic creep and high frequency cycling. The damage concept based on non-linear accumulation predicted lives which were in agreement with those observed experimentally for the two materials.
