The rotating components in the hot sections of land-based gas turbine are exposed to severe environment during several ten thousand hours at above 1100 oC operating temperature. The failure mechanism of the hot gas components would be accompanied by material degradation in the properties of high temperature and creep rupture strength. Many hot gas components in gas turbine are made of Ni-based superalloy because of their high temperature performance. In this work, we surveyed the time and temperature dependent degradation of Ni-based superalloy. We prepared the specimens from GTD111 that are exposed at 871 oC and 982 oC in 1,000 ~ 10,000 hours. We carried out the mechanical test and microstructural observation.

The gas turbine components operated in hot combustion gas undergo material degradation due to the thermal cycles. The failure mechanism of the hot gas components would be accompanied by material degradation in the properties of high temperature strength and creep rupture time. Many stationary parts in gas turbine are made of Co-based superalloy because of their high temperature performance. In this work, we survey the time and temperature dependent degradation of Co-based superalloy. We prepared the specimens of Co-based superalloy ECY768 that are exposed at 871 and 982 oC in 1000 ~ 5000 hours. We carried out the mechanical test and microstructural observation.

Gas turbine components operated by hot combustion gas undergo material degradation due to the thermal cycle by daily startup and shutdown. The failure mechanism of the hot gas components is accompanied by degradation in the properties of high temperature strength and creep rupture time. Many hot gas components in gas turbines are made of Ni-based superalloy because of their high temperature performance. In this work, we survey the time and temperature dependent degradation of Ni-based superalloy. We prepared specimens from Inconel738LC that were then exposed at 871~982°C in 1,000~5,000hours. We carried out stress-rupture tests and microstructural investigation.

Silicon-deoxidized, tempered bainitic 1 percent CrMoV steel is currently used extensively for high-temperature steam turbine rotor forgings operating at temperatures up to 565°C due to its excellent creep rupture properties and relative economy. There is impetus to improve the creep rupture strength of this steel while maintaining its current toughness level and vice versa. The excellent creep rupture ductility of the low Si version of this steel allows the use of a higher austenitizing temperature or tensile strength level for improving creep rupture strength without loss in creep ductility or toughness. When the tensile strength of this steel is increased from 785 to 854 MPa, the creep rupture strength exceeds that of the more expensive martensitic 12CrMoVCbN steel currently used for high-temperature rotor applications where additional creep rupture strength is required. The toughness of 1 percent CrMoV steel is improved by lowering the bainite start (Bs) temperature in a “superclean” base composition which is essentially free of Mn, Si, P, S, Sb, As and Sn. The Bs temperature can be lowered through the addition of alloying elements (i.e., C, Ni, Cr, and Mo) and/or increasing the cooling rate from the austenitizing temperature. Using these techniques, the 50 percent FATT can be lowered from approximately 100°C to below room temperature, which provides the opportunity to eliminate the special precautionary procedures currently used in the startup and shutdown of steam turbines. The most promising steels in terms of creep rupture and toughness properties contain 2.5 percent Ni and 0.04 percent Cb (for austenite grain refinement and enhanced tempering resistance). In general, the creep rupture strength of the superclean steels equals or exceeds that of the standard 1 percent CrMoV steel. In addition, the superclean steels have not been found to be susceptible to temper embrittlement, nor do they alter the room temperature fatigue crack propagation characteristics of the standard 1 percent CrMoV steel. These new steels may also find application in combination high-temperature-low-temperature rotors and gas turbine rotors.

The complex thermal-mechanical loading of power-generating plant components usually comprises of creep, high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue which are thermally induced by start-ups, load changes and shut-downs, producing instationary temperature gradients and hence creating strain as well as stress fields. In order to select the correct materials for these hostile environmental conditions, it is vitally important to understand the behaviour of mechanical properties such as creep rupture properties of these materials. This paper reports the results of standard creep rupture tests of P122 (HCM12A or 12Cr-1.8W-1.5Cu) high temperature boiler material. P122 is one of the latest developed materials for high temperature environments, which has the potential to be successful in hostile environments. The tests were conducted at temperatures ranging from 550°C to 700°C at 50°C intervals with stress levels ranging from 80–400 MPa using a locally made creep rupture testing machine. The results are found to have stable creep-rupture strength at short term creep stage for over 800-hours at elevated temperatures. Creep life prediction from Larson-Miller relationship was also carried out and the accuracy of life prediction is demonstrated. Moreover, the fracture mode assessments strongly revealed a typical ductile transgranular fracture mode with dimples and voids.
