Abstract
Modified 9Cr-1Mo steel (ASME SA-213, Grade 91) is regarded as a promising candidate for structural materials in some of the nuclear power generation plants considered in Generation-IV project. If it is used at high temperature conditions, consideration of creep-fatigue interaction in addition to simple creep rupture is needed in component design. The author has been conducting many creep-fatigue tests for the steel at temperatures between 550°C and 650°C in order to search for a suitable creep-fatigue assessment method. It was found that creep damage at failure estimated by applying the time fraction approach to measured stress relaxation data strongly depended on the test temperature and became quite small at 550°C. However, application of calculated stress relaxation brought about the increase of creep damage over the linear damage summation line. Furthermore, addition of design factors significantly increased the values of creep and fatigue damages, making margin against failure quite large. A new definition of creep damage as a ductility consumer in strain based approach gave a simple method to estimate creep damage more properly and stably with a much smaller sensitivity on the stress relaxation behavior.
