The Relationship

The applicability of the Monkman-Grant relationship was analyzed and validated for ultrafine-grained metallic materials under investigation. A special attention has been given to the creep damage tolerance factor which is defined as the ratio of the strain to fracture to the Monkman-Grant ductility and which describes the coupling between creep deformation and damage based on continuum creep damage approach. It was found, that ultrafine-grained materials generally obey the Monkman-Grant relationship, however, the relationship is especially suitable for materials exhibiting short secondary creep and long tertiary creep stages when dislocation-controlled creep is dominant.

Additive creep rate model has been developed to predict creep strain-time behavior of materials important to engineering creep design of components for high temperature applications. The model has two additive formulations: the first one is related to sine hyperbolic rate equation describing primary and secondary creep deformation based on the evolution of internal stress with strain/time, and the second defines the tertiary creep rate as a function of tertiary creep strain. In order to describe creep data accurately, tertiary creep rate relation based on MPC-Omega methodology has been appropriately modified. The applicability of the model has been demonstrated for tempered martensitic plain 9Cr-1Mo steel for different applied stresses at 873 K. Based on the observations, a power law relationship between internal stress and applied stress has been established for the steel. Further, a higher creep damage accumulation with increasing life fraction has been observed at low stresses than those obtained at high stresses.

The Relationship

Ultrafine grained materials fabricated by severe plastic deformation exhibit both superior and inferior mechanical properties, as the prominent structural materials, compared to coarse grained counterparts. The superior mechanical properties are ultrahigh strength and exceptional ductility at high temperatures (i.e., superplasticity). The inferior mechanical properties are lack of strain hardenability and room temperature ductility. In this study, the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained materials fabricated by severe plastic deformation is investigated in order to provide insight broadening their future applicability.

The classic Kachanov-Rabotnov isotropic creep damage constitutive model has been used in many situations to predict the creep deformation of high temperature components. Typically, the secondary creep behavior is determined by analytical methods; however, the tertiary creep damage constants are found using a mixture of trial and error and numerical optimization. These methods require substantial hand calculations and computational time to determine the tertiary creep damage constants. In this paper, a novel analytical method is developed to determine the tertiary creep damage constants. Comparisons between numerical optimized constants and those found using the analytical method are given for a Ni-based superalloy. Creep deformation, damage evolution, and rupture time predictions are compared. A detailed discussion of the analytical method is given.

In a number of circumstances, the Kachanov–Rabotnov isotropic creep damage constitutive model has been utilized to assess the creep deformation of high-temperature components. Secondary creep behavior is usually studied using analytical methods, whereas tertiary creep damage constants are determined by the combination of experiments and numerical optimization. To obtain the tertiary creep damage constants, these methods necessitate extensive computational effort and time to determine the tertiary creep damage constants. In this study, a curve-fitting technique was proposed for applying the Kachanov–Rabotnov model into the built-in Norton–Bailey model in Abaqus. It extrapolates the creep behaviour by fitting the Kachanov–Rabotnov model to the limited creep data obtained from the Omega-Norton–Bailey regression model and then simulates beyond the available data points. Through the Omega creep model, several creep strain rates for SS-316 were calculated using API-579/ASME FFS-1 standards. These are dependent on the type of the material, the flow stress, and the temperature. In the present work, FEA creep assessment was carried out on the SS-316 dog bone specimen, which was used as a material coupon to forecast time-dependent permanent plastic deformation as well as creep behavior at elevated temperatures and under uniform stress. The model was validated with the help of published experimental creep test data, and data optimization for sensitivity study was conducted by applying response surface methodology (RSM) and ANOVA techniques. The results showed that the specimen underwent secondary creep deformation for most of the analysis period. Hence, the method is useful in predicting the complete creep behavior of the material and in generating a creep curve.

It is now well-established that processing through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) leads to a significant reduction in the grain size of a wide range of metallic materials. This paper examines the fabrication of ultrafine-grained materials using high-pressure torsion (HPT) where this process is attractive because it leads to exceptional grain refinement with grain sizes that often lie in the nanometer or submicrometer ranges. Two aspects of HPT are examined. First, processing by HPT is usually confined to samples in the form of very thin disks but recent experiments demonstrate the potential for extending HPT also to bulk samples. Second, since the strains imposed in HPT vary with the distance from the center of the disk, it is important to examine the development of inhomogeneities in disk samples processed by HPT.

Abstract Low stress interrupted creep test, as an interim compromise, can provide essential data for creep deformation design. However, there are no clear guidelines on the characterization of the terminating time for interrupted low-stress creep test. To obtain a suitable terminating time in terms of economy and effectiveness, long-term creep strain data of 9%Cr steels are collected from literatures and their creep deformation characterization is analyzed. First, the variations of normalized time and strain of each creep stage with the stress level are discussed. Then, the effect of the terminating time on final fitted results of Norton–Bailey equation is estimated. Third, the relationship between demarcation points at different creep stages and minimum/steady-state creep rate is analyzed. The results indicate that when the creep rupture life is considered as an important factor for creep design, the tertiary creep stage is of greatest significance due to the largest life fraction and creep strain fraction at low stress level. However, the primary and secondary creep stages are of great significance for design due to their larger contribution to 1% limited creep strain. And the long-term secondary creep data could be extrapolated by combining the primary creep strain data obtained from interrupted creep tests with the time to onset of tertiary creep derived from a similar Monkman–Grant relationship.

Directionally solidified (DS) Ni-base superalloys have become a commonly used material in gas turbine components. Controlled solidification during the material manufacturing process leads to a special alignment of the grain boundaries within the material. This alignment results in different material properties dependent on the orientation of the material. When used in gas turbine applications the direction of the first principle stress experienced by a component is aligned with the enhanced grain orientation leading to enhanced impact strength, high temperature creep and fatigue resistance, and improve corrosion resistance compared to off axis orientations. Of particular importance is the creep response of these DS materials. In the current study, the classical Kachanov-Rabotnov model for tertiary creep damage is implemented in a general-purpose finite element analysis (FEA) software. Creep deformation and rupture experiments are conducted on samples from a representative DS Ni-base superalloys tested at temperatures between 649 and 982°C and two orientations (longitudinally- and transversely-oriented). The secondary creep constants are analytically determined from available experimental data in literature. The simulated annealing optimization routine is utilized to determine the tertiary creep constants. Using regression analysis the creep constants are characterized for temperature and stress-dependence. A rupture time estimation model derived from the Kachanov-Rabotnov model is then parametrically exercised and compared with available experimental data.

Over Time

To capture the mechanical response of Ni-based materials, creep deformation and rupture experiments are typically performed. Long term tests, mimicking service conditions at 10,000 h or more, are generally avoided due to expense. Phenomenological models such as the classical Kachanov–Rabotnov (Rabotnov, 1969, Creep Problems in Structural Members, North-Holland, Amsterdam; Kachanov, 1958, “Time to Rupture Process Under Creep Conditions,” Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Otd. Tekh. Nauk, Mekh. Mashin., 8, pp. 26–31) model can accurately estimate tertiary creep damage over extended histories. Creep deformation and rupture experiments are conducted on IN617 a polycrystalline Ni-based alloy over a range of temperatures and applied stresses. The continuum damage model is extended to account for temperature dependence. This allows the modeling of creep deformation at temperatures between available creep rupture data and the design of full-scale parts containing temperature distributions. Implementation of the Hayhurst (1983, “On the Role of Continuum Damage on Structural Mechanics,” in Engineering Approaches to High Temperature Design, Pineridge, Swansea, pp. 85–176) (tri-axial) stress formulation introduces tensile/compressive asymmetry to the model. This allows compressive loading to be considered for compression loaded gas turbine components such as transition pieces. A new dominant deformation approach is provided to predict the dominant creep mode over time. This leads to development of a new methodology for determining the creep stage and strain of parametric stress and temperature simulations over time.

Extensive creep tests have been performed on oxygen free copper with 50 ppm phosphorus at both low and high temperatures. It is the candidate material for storage of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden. Basic models without fitting parameters have been formulated to reproduce primary and secondary creep. For a long time, only empirical models existed for fitting of tertiary creep. To understand the role of creep damage, including recovery, cavitation and necking, basic models that do not involve adjustable parameters are in urgent demand. Only recently, basic models taking the relevant mechanisms into account have been developed. These models were used to predict the tertiary creep for copper at 75°C. The modelled results were compared with experimental creep curves and good agreement has been found. In the present paper, the models are applied to creep tests at higher temperatures (215 and 250°C). A similar representation with good accuracy is obtained. This demonstrates that the fundamental model for back stress is applicable for the higher temperature tests as well.

In the power generation industry, the goal of increased gas turbine efficiency has led to increased operating temperatures and pressures necessitating nickel-base superalloy components. Under these conditions, the tertiary creep regime can become the dominant form of creep deformation. In response, the classical Kachanov–Rabotnov coupled creep-damage constitutive model is often used to predict the creep deformation and damage of Ni-base superalloys. In this model, the secondary creep behavior can be determined through analytical methods while the tertiary creep behavior is often found using trial and error or numerical optimization. Trial and error may produce no constants. Numerical optimization can be computationally expensive. In this study, a strain-based and damage-based approach to determine the tertiary creep behavior of nickel-base superalloys has been developed. Analytically determined constants are found for a given nickel-base superalloy. Creep deformation and damage evolution curves are compared. Methods to deal with stress dependence are introduced and studied.
