The present work focused on a miniature test named small punch creep test which have been employed to electric power, petro-chemical, nuclear power and other fields widely in the last three decades. Under normal circumstances, engineering application pay more closer attention to the Norton creep law. To determine the Norton creep law, at least three creep curves were needed by traditional method, it’s time consuming and uneconomic. In present paper, the small punch creep tests were carried out following the CEN code of practice. Based on Chakrabarty’s membrane stretch model and Norton power law, the results of small punch creep tests and finite element method have been compared and discussed. A completely novel and economical approach was proposed to determine the parameters of Norton creep law more accurately and conveniently. The results show that, if scopes of parameters known, the Norton creep law could be determined accurately even from one creep curve only.

The Relationship

The small punch creep (SPC) test is possible to predict residual creep life at a high accuracy. But, the results of SPC tests cannot be compared with uniaxial creep or internal pressure creep results directly. In this report, the relationship between SPC test results and uniaxial creep test results in ASME A335 P11 (1.25Cr-0.5Mo Steel) was studied. The obtained relationship between SPC load and equivalent uniaxial creep stress formed a simple linear equation under the wide range of test temperature and test period. Then, the SPC results can be compared with uniaxial results by converting SPC loads to the equivalent uniaxial creep stresses. The relationship between SPC test results and internal pressure creep tests results was also studied. The internal creep life of as-received P11 pipe was almost same as SPC result when the hoop stress was converted to the SPC load. The creep lives of internal pressure creep influenced materials also showed good correspondence with SPC results. Therefore SPC can estimate the residual life of internal pressure creep influenced materials.

This work discusses the results from tests conducted to investigate the uniaxial compression and creep behavior of red sandstone. The original untreated sample and the 800 ℃ treated sample have been selected to carry out the experiments. It has been found that high temperature has obvious influence on the mechanical properties of red sandstone. The relationship between creep strain and instantaneous strain, as well as instantaneous deformation modulus and creep viscosity coefficient have been analyzed. It has been found that high temperature reduces the ability of red sandstone to resist instantaneous deformation and creep deformation. Acoustic emission (AE) technology has been also used in the loading process of uniaxial compression and creep tests, providing a powerful means for damage evolution analysis of red sandstone.

Rupture Mechanism

9Cr steel weldments are concerned with evaluation of creep life time and creep rupture mechanism. In fine grain HAZ (FG-HAZ) of weldments, TYPE IV cracking and creep voids occurred at lower stress than rupture stress level of base metal. In the crept specimen, FG-HAZ sometime has large coarsening grains near creep voids. These recovery phenomena are localized in FG-HAZ, and recovered microstructures are dependent on heat input of welding. In this study, creep tests are examined in two types of weldments, and relations between creep life time and coarsened sub-grains or grains have been studied by microstructural changing with EBSP analysis. In crept specimens, boundaries are moved and boundary density is decreasing in the fine-grained HAZ. Maximum grain size and creep life time have linear function, and EBSP can evaluate creep life time of 9Cr weldments. These microstructural changing are considered by morphology of precipitates in the several crept specimens.

Actual Stress

In the creep tests, stress is no longer a constant and increases gradually under the influence of damage occurring during accelerating creep, which is a slow-loading process rather than a conventional creep. With the accumulation of the damage over time, the actual stress increases greatly. The increased actual stress not only generates loading strain but also causes the steady creep rate to rise. This coupling possibly explains why salt rock presents nonlinear accelerating characteristics at the accelerating creep stage. In this work, the constraint of the present creep concept was overcome by assuming that the acceleration creep phase is a coupling process of loading and creeping. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the total strain in this phase is equal to the sum of loading strain and creeping strain. A new nonlinear constitutive equation for creep was then derived, and the mechanisms underlying the nonlinear accelerating characteristics emerging at the stage of accelerating creep are further explained. A step-loading experiment on salt rock was performed for a period of six months. The characteristics of accelerating creep appeared in the last step of loading. This new nonlinear creep damage constitutive model was used to fit and analyze the test data. Obtained results show that this model fits well to these test data and also favorably represents the nonlinear characteristics of accelerating creep, thus supporting the model’s validity.
