Abstract This study evaluates creep-fatigue damage in the modified Grade 91 thick-cylinder tested by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), to understand the failure mechanism of critical components of Fast Reactor nuclear plants. As modified Grade 91 demonstrated creep-fatigue interaction induced failure mechanisms, finite element analysis of high-temperature components will require a unified constitutive model (UCM) that can simulate various creep-fatigue responses with reasonable accuracy. Hence, a UCM coupled with various advanced modeling features including the continuum damage modeling features is investigated to demonstrate their predictability of the fatigue, creep and creep-fatigue responses of the modified Grade 91 steel. The modified UCM is implemented into ABAQUS for analysis of creep deformation in the thick cylinder benchmark problem. Finite element analysis results are presented to demonstrate how the thermal cycling influences the creep-deformation of this high-temperature component. It is also demonstrated how thermal cycling’s influence on fatigue life can be determined based on the damage variable incorporated in the UCM.

Grade 91 Steel

The Sodium Fast-cooled Reactor (SFR), are generation IV nuclear power plants, have a target operating temperature of 550°C which makes creep-fatigue behavior more critical than a generation III nuclear power plants. So it is important to understand the nature of creep-fatigue behavior of the piping material, Grade 91 steel. The creep-fatigue damage diagram of Grade 91 steel used in ASME-NH was derived using a conventional time-fraction testing method which was originally developed for type 300 stainless steels. Multiple studies indicate that the creep-fatigue damage diagram of Grade 91 steel developed using this testing method has excessive conservatism in it. Therefore, an alternative testing method was suggested by separating creep and fatigue using interrupted creep tests. The suggested method makes it possible to control creep life consumption freely which was difficult with the previous method. It also makes it easier to observe the interaction between creep and fatigue mechanisms and microstructural evolution. In conclusion, an alternative creep-fatigue damage diagram for Grade 91 steel at 550°C was developed using an interrupt creep fatigue testing method and FE model simulation.

Grade 91 Steel

A continuum damage mechanics (CDM) coupled unified viscoplasticity model has been developed to predict the creep-fatigue life of modified Grade 91 steel. A tertiary creep model termed MPC-Omega codified in Part 10 of API (and also implemented in the ASME BP&V Code for Grade 22V and more recently Grade 91 Steel) is also employed for creep damage evaluation. As MPC-Omega has a direct relationship with Larson-Miller parameter (LMP) coefficients, creep damage coefficients in the unified constitutive model (UCM) are tied with MPC-Omega coefficients in order to utilize WRC and API 579-1 Grade 91 creep rupture database. The model is validated against long-term creep, LCF, creep-fatigue and TMF experimental responses at T = 20–600°C.
