The effects of atmosphere on the creep rupture properties of Ni-base superalloy Ren6 80 were investigated. Creep rupture tests were performed at $760^{\circ}C$, 657MPa and 982%, 157MPa under Ar gas atmospheres. Creep rupture mode and rupture properties (rupture life and elongation) were similar in two different atmospheres under the condition of $760^{\circ}C$, 657MPa. However, the results at $982^{\circ}C$, 157MPa showed different creep rupture mode and life between air and Ar gas atmospheres. In air, it was shown that creep cracks were initiated at surface-exposed grain boundaries and propagated along grain boundaries. In Ar gas atmosphere, the cracks were initiated at inner grain boundaries and coalesced to surface cracks which cause cup-and-cone type fracture. Due to protective oxide layer formation, air test showed longer rupture life than Ar test.

This paper deals with a study on improvement of long-time creep life prediction of steam turbine rotor steels by using initial strain method as a new approach at high temperatures of 500 to 70$0^{\circ}C$ . The main result shows that the inital strain method could be reliably utilized to predict and evaluate the long-time creep life as creep rupture strength and that the predicting equation for long-time creep life under a certain creep stress at a certain high temperature could be empirically derived out from each initial instantaneous strain measured.

To make practical applications of Al-Zn-Mg ternary aluminum alloy effectively in various field, a series of static creep tests under the 16 temperature-stress combination conditions had been performed. The creep tester with constant stress loading was designed and made by the authors and used in this study. The higher the creep temperature rose, the less the stress exponents became. The bigger the applied stresses became, the less values the creep strain activation energy showed. The life prediction constant of Larson-Miller parameter was calculated as about 2.3. In the fractography, the ductile fracture with dimples by intergranular breakage was primarily observed. We can make practical use of these test data in the design, the life prediction and the prevention of the accidents of the thermal facilities, etc.

MX 석출물 형성 원소인 V과 Nb을 첨가한 11Cr-1Mo-VNb 페라이트계 내열강의 각각의 시험 온도에서 파단 시간에 따른 미세조직의 변화를 연구하였다. 초기 조직은 템퍼드 마르텐사이트 조직을 갖고 있었으며, 고온 강도를 저하시키는 ${\delta}$-페라이트는 존재하지 않았다. 주 석출상은 $M_{23}C_6$와 MX로 확인되었다. 또한, 모든 크리프 파단재에서 응력을 받은 게이지 부분이 응력을 받지 않은 그립 부분보다 석출물 및 마르텐사이트 래스 폭의 성장이 가속되는 결과를 나타내었다. 이는 크리프 변형 중 응력 집중에 의해 래스 경계를 따라 전위가 집적되고, 이에 따른 용질원자의 확산 속도가 증가하여 석출물의 성장에 따른 래스 경계의 이동이 일어나 게이지 부분이 그립 부분보다 마르텐사이트 회복이 가속된 것으로 판단된다.

Super-duralumin has widely been used as the part materials of aerospace and automobile industry because it has high specific strength and also is light. But, we have little design data about the creep behaviors of the alloy. Therefore, in this study, every creep test under four constant stress conditions have been conducted for four temperature conditions. A series of creep tests had been performed to get the basic design data and life prediction of super-duralurnin products and we have gotten the following results. First, the stress exponents showed the descending trend as the test temperatures increase. Secondly, the creep activation energy gradually decreased as the stresses become bigger. Thirdly, the constant of Larson-Miller parameters on this alloy was estimated about 6. And last, the fractographs at the creep rupture showed both the brittle fracture due to the transgranular rupture.

Purpose: To observe the high temperature creep test and the fracture surface of the samples of 9% Ni alloy steel generally used for all kinds of mahine parts and predict the durability of that by determining a constant of C with a Larson-Miller variable. Methods: The equipment of this test was made into lever-beam style designed by Andrade and F. Garofalo et al.. The condition of creep test was set under 16 kinds of conditions after fixing 4 kinds of temperature condition and 4 kinds of stress condition to check how it effects the samples. Results: The temperature of creep test was increased, the stress index (n) of creep deformation was gradually decreased from 3.97 to 3.55. The activation energy of creep deformation was decreased from 90.39 to 83.64 kcal/mol when the stress was increased. A constant of C value by calculation of larson-Miller variable was about 22 and if temperature for use is suggested, the durability could be calculated. Conclusions: By analyzing the fracture phenomenon and suggesting the observation result of the fracture surface of the samples and creep test of 9% Ni alloy steel, the basic design data for the practical use of accessories in the field of equipment could be constructed and used to predict the durability of the equipment.

In order to investigate the effects of hot corrosion on the creep rupture properties and creep life of 304 stainless steel being used as tube materials of heavy oil fired boiler, the creep rupture tests were carried out at temperature 630.deg.C, 690.deg.C and 750.deg.C in static air for the specimens with or without coating of double layer corrosives according to the new hot corrosion test method simulating the situation commonly observed on superheater tubes of the actual boiler. The double layer corrosives are 85% V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ + 10% Na$_{2}$So$_{4}$ + 5% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ as the inner layer corrosive being once melted at 900.deg. C and crushed to powder, and 10% V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ + 85% Na$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ +5% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ as the outer layer corrosive. As results, in the specimen coated with the double layer corrosives, the rupture strength was extremely lowered and showed a large difference each other. The rupture ductility also lowered remarkably as a result of the brittle fracture mode due to hot corrosion. These results indicate that hot corrosion could essentially alter the creep fracture mechanism. From the metallographic observation, it was clarified that the rupture life of 304 stainless steel subjected to hot corrosion was chiefly determined by the behavior of the aggressive intergranular penetration of sulfides.des.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the short-term creep rupture time and the creep rupture properties at three different elevated temperatures in STS304 stainless steel. Uniaxial constant stress creep rupture tests were performed on the steel to observe the creep rupture behaviors at the elevated temperatures of 600, 650 and 700, according to the testing matrix. It is very important to predict creep life in practical creep design problems. As one of the series of studies on the statistical modelling of probabilistic creep rupture time and the development of creep life prediction techniques, the relationship between applied stress and creep rupture behaviors, such as creep strain rate and rupture time, were investigated. In addition, the Monkman-Grant relationship was observed between the steady-state creep rate and the creep rupture time. The creep rupture surfaces observed by SEM showed up dimple phenomenon at all conditions.

Technological mode progress demands the use of materials at high temperature and pressure. Constant load creep tests have been carried out over the range of stresses at high temperatures. One of the most critical factors in considering such applications as the most critical one is the creep behavior. In order to investigate the creep behavior in this study, the stress exponents during creep were determined over the temperature range of $275^{\circ}C$ to $325^{\circ}C$ and the stress range of 36MPa to 72MPa. The applicability of modified Monkman-Grant relationship was also discussed.
