The initiation and growth of micro-defects such as micro cracks and voids usually causes the failure of long term operated structural components at high temperature. In this study, the creep characteristics and void nucleation and growth characteristics of P92 steel which is used as main steam pipe material in power plant were investigated at several temperatures and loading conditions. The area fraction of void increased with increase of test temperature, stress, and load holding time. In case of internal defect presence, micro-voids initiated in the early stage of loading period and resulted in the increased load line displacement and crack growth rate. The microvoids were found to form along the prior austenite grain boundaries and at the martensite packet boundaries.

In this paper, an extensometer was specifically designed for online deformation monitoring of high temperature pipes and its applicability was verified experimentally. The design procedure and the installation of the extensometer were described in detail. Experiments were carried out to prove the accuracy and the reliability of the extensometer. The laboratory test at room temperature was performed. The reliability of the extensometer at high temperature was validated by on-site monitoring of the deformation of a main steam pipe operating at 540 °C in a power plant. It was demonstrated that the designed extensometer has a high accuracy and an excellent reliability for measurement of the deformation of the high temperature pipes.

Abstract This paper discusses the various methods which have been proposed to determine safe working stresses for high-temperature service. The question of the stability of alloys during the test and in subsequent service is considered, with particular emphasis upon probable changes in creep characteristics during long exposure to stress and temperature. It is shown that published data in general do not admit of extrapolation, and that attempts to estimate total creep in service from such data are not usually satisfactory. The author stresses the need for more fundamental study of the laws governing creep rather than creep tests of many different materials.

This report deals with the creep properties of carbon steels used in superheater headers, superheater tubes, and steam pipes for service at temperatures up to about 480 deg. C. The object of the investigation was to obtain data for the estimation of the stress-temperature relationships for specific creep strains of 0·1–0·5 per cent to occur in 100,000 hours, and these have been obtained with sufficient precision to warrant their acceptance for practical purposes. Similar components in molybdenum steel are under investigation.
