Influences of hold time and stress ratio on cyclic creep properties of Grade 91 steel were systemically investigated using a wide range of cyclic creep tests, which were performed with hold times (HTs) of 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes and stress ratios (R) of 0.5, 0.8, 0.85, 0.90, and 0.95 under tension loading cycles at $600^{\circ}C$. Under the influence of HT, the rupture time increased to HT = 5 minutes at R = 0.90 and R = 0.95, but there was no influence at R = 0.50, 0.80, and 0.85. The creep rate was constant regardless of an increase in the HT, except for the case of HT = 5 minutes at R = 0.90 and R = 0.95. Under the influence of stress ratio, the rupture time increased with an increase in the stress ratio, but the creep rate decreased. The cyclic creep led to a reduction in the rupture time and an acceleration in the creep rate compared with the case of monotonic creep. Cyclic creep was found to depend dominantly on the stress ratio rather than on the HT. Fracture surfaces displayed transgranular fractures resulting from microvoid coalescence, and the amount of microvoids increased with an increase in the stress ratio. Enhanced coarsening of the precipitates in the cyclic creep test specimens was found under all conditions.

Magnesium alloys have been focussed for the applications for lightweight of vehicle and electronics due to their high strength, low specific density and good damping capacity. This paper deals with the creep strength of Mg-Nd-Zr-Zn alloy. For the alloy, pure magnesium(99.9%) was melt with atmosphere of $0.3%SF_6$ and $25%CO_2$. After melting, 0.3% of zinc was inserted to stir for 10min at elevated temperature of $770^{\circ}C$. Master alloys of Mg-15%Nd and Mg-15%Zr were stirred in furnace. The creep tests were performed to obtain creep rate and rupture in the temperature range of 200 to $220^{\circ}C$ and 280 to $310^{\circ}C$ at an applied stress of 156 to 172MPa and 78 to 94MPa, respectively. The deformation mechanism was predicted dislocation climb from measured apparent activation energy and stress exponent. Also the increaser the temperature and stress the lower the stress exponent and activation energy. Finally, LMP parameter gives good information for the predicted creep rupture life.

In most LMFBR(Liquid Metal Fast Breed Reactor) design, the operating temperature is very high and the time-dependent creep and stress-rupture effects become so important in reactor structural design. Therefore, unlike with conventional PWR, the normal operating conditions can be basically dominant design loading because the hold time at elevated temperature condition is so long and enough to result in severe total creep ratcheting strains during total service lifetime. In this paper, elevated temperature design of the conceptually designed baffle annulus regions of KALIMER(Korea Advanced Liquid MEtal Reactor) reactor internal strictures is carried out for normal operating conditions which have the operating temperature 53$0^{\circ}C$ and the total service lifetime of 30 years. For the elevated temperature design of reactor internal structures, the ASME Code Case N-201-4 is used. Using this code, the time-dependent stress limits, the accumulated total inelastic strain during service lifetime, and the creep-fatigue damages are evaluated with the calculation results by the elastic analysis under conservative assumptions. The application procedures of elevated temperature design of the reactor internal structures using ASME Code Case N-201-4 with the elastic analysis method are described step by step in detail. This paper will be useful guide for actual application of elevated temperature design of various reactor types accounting for creep and stress-rupture effects.

발전설비 및 자동차의 엔진에서 고온과 응력이 발생하므로 안전을 위하여 제품을 생산하기 전에 재료의 수명설계가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 온도, 응력, 파단 시간으로 이루어진 무기력계수를 이용하여 수명설계를 수식화하였다. 통합수명식을 이용하여 SP-Creep 시험 데이터와 계산된 데이터를 비교하였다. SP-Creep 시험은 X20CrMoV121강의 파단시간을 획득하기 위하여 수행하였고 수명설계식을 통해 하중, 온도, 하중-온도가 작용하는 3가지 경우를 고려하였다. 첫째로, 무기력계수는 SP-Creep 시험에서 획득한 파단응력과 시간에 의해 계산하였다. 두 번째로, 온도 조건을 주어 수명을 예상하였다. 세 번째로, 부재는 피로와 크리프가 동시에 작용할 때 커플링 효과 때문에 더 열악한 상태에 놓이게 된다. 수명은 커플링 효과 때문에 현저하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

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.

The creep properties have been evaluated for type 316LN stainless steel welded by the SAW method. The creep tests were conducted with different stress levels for both the base and weld metals at $550^{\circ}C\;and\;600^{\circ}C$. The results of the creep-rupture time of the weld metal did not show a large difference when compared to those of the base one, though it exhibited a little lower value at $600^{\circ}C$. The creep rate of the weld metal was lower than that of the base one at the same stress and rupture-time conditions. The creep-rupture ductility of the weld metal is found to be decreased by about 60%, compared to the base one. This is due to the decreasing of tensile elongation and the increasing of the yield stress in the weld metals.

이방압밀이 과압밀점토의 비배수크리프파괴거동에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 등방 및 이방과압일시킨 점토시료에 대해서 비배수상태에서 크리프시험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 비배수 크리프파괴거동은 점토시료의 응력이력 즉 과압밀비와 압밀응력비$(\sigma_{3c}/\sigma_{le})$의 크기에 의해서 영향을 크게 받는다는 사실이 밝혀졌다. 즉 점토의 크리프강도는 과압밀비와 압밀응력비가 클수록 증가하므로 정지토압계수가 1.0보다 작은 점토지반의 크리프파괴 가능성을 등방압밀크리프피 괴시험에 의해서 판단하는 것은 위험하다. 그리고 점토의 크리프강도는 과압밀비와 압밀응력비의 크기에 관계없이 Finn과 Shead(1973)의 제안식에 의한 상한항복강도로서 구할 수 있었다.

P91 steel has been a highly researched material because of its applicability for high-temperature applications. Considerable efforts have been made to produce experimental creep data and develop models for creep life prediction. As creep tests are expensive and difficult to conduct, it is vital to develop authenticated empirical methods from experimental results that can be utilized for better understanding of creep behavior and can be incorporated into computational models for reliable prediction of creep life. In this research, a series of creep rupture tests are performed on the P91 specimens within a stress range of 155 MPa to 200 MPa and temperature range of 640 ℃ (913 K) to 675 ℃ (948 K). The microstructure, hardness, and fracture surfaces of the specimens are investigated. To analyze the results of the creep rupture tests at a macro level, a parameter called creep work density is derived. Then, the relationships between various creep parameters such as strain, strain rate, time to rupture, creep damage tolerance factor, and creep work density are investigated, and various empirical equations are obtained.

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.
