Rupture Life and Failure Mechanism of Grade 91 Steel Under the Influence of Notch Constraint

Coal-fired power plants must operate at higher temperatures and pressures to achieve maximum efficiency. During operation, components are exposed to the creep environment, which can lead to catastrophic plant failure. In this study, an initiative was taken to evaluate the creep behavior and failure...

Rupture Life and Failure Mechanism of Grade 91 Steel Under the Influence of Notch Constraint
description Coal-fired power plants must operate at higher temperatures and pressures to achieve maximum efficiency. During operation, components are exposed to the creep environment, which can lead to catastrophic plant failure. In this study, an initiative was taken to evaluate the creep behavior and failure mechanism of Grade 91 steel by conducting creep tests at 873 K and different stress levels. Two types of specimens (smooth and notched) were used to study the effects of uniaxial and multiaxial stress states on creep strength. Notched specimens with different acuities (2.28 and 4.56) were employed. The creep curve of both specimens showed all three stages known as primary, secondary, and tertiary.
