The standard power law approaches widely used to describe creep and creep fracture behavior have not led to theories capable of predicting long-term data. Similarly, traditional parametric methods for property rationalization also have limited predictive capabilities. In contrast, quantifying the shapes of short-term creep curves using the q methodology introduces several physically-meaningful procedures for creep data rationalization and prediction, which allow straightforward estimation of the 100,000 hour stress rupture values for the aluminum alloy, 2124.

In this article, a creep–rupture model of aluminum alloys is developed using a time-dependent cohesive zone law. For long-term creep rupture, a time jump strategy is used in a cohesive zone law. Stress–rupture scatter of aluminum alloy 4032-T6 is fitted with a power law form. Then, change in the slope of a stress-rupture line is identified on a log–log scale. Implicit finite element analysis is employed with a model containing a cohesive zone. Stress–rupture curves at various given temperatures are calculated and compared with experimental ones. Results show that a proposed method allows predicting creep–rupture life of aluminum alloys.

Stress rupture factors and weld strength reduction factors for Grade 91 weldments in the codes and literatures have been reviewed. Stress rupture factors for weld metals proposed for Code Case N-47 in the mid 1980’s was defined as the average rupture strength of the deposited filler metal to the average rupture strength of the base metal. Remarkable drop in creep rupture strength of weldments is significant issue of Grade 91, especially in the low-stress and long-term regime. A premature failure of Grade 91 weldments in the long-term, however, is caused by Type IV failure which takes place in the fine grained heat affected zone (FG-HAZ), rather than fracture in the deposited weld metal. The stress rupture factor of the Grade 91 steel, therefore, was based on the creep rupture strength of cross weld test specimens. Time and temperature dependent stress rupture factors for Grade 91 have been estimated based on the average creep rupture strength of cross weld test specimen to the average creep rupture strength of base metal.

This paper covers an investigation to determine if the long-term, tensile stress-rupture strength of alloys could be calculated from the results of static tensile-strength tests at elevated temperatures. Twenty-one alloys were investigated. A second-order form of a mechanical-chemical equation of state was used to draw master rupture curves from both long-term rupture and tensile-strength data. It is concluded that the long-term strength of an alloy can be computed from a knowledge of its tensile strength at elevated temperatures, prior history, chemical composition, and mode of failure.
