Abstract
This paper is concerned with the creep life prediction of cast 20Cr32NiNb alloy, an alternative candidate material to wrought Inconel alloys for use in the gas collector pipes of CO reformers which suffer from long-term creep damage due to high temperatures and stresses. Uniaxial creep tests of 20Cr32NiNb alloy were performed at 890 °C and 950 °C for different stresses. The Omega method for creep life prediction is applied to the 20Cr32NiNb tests and shown to give reasonably accurate prediction, particularly at low stress levels. A new method, based on the use of a hyperbolic sine function for stress correlation at specific temperatures for identification of the characteristic Omega parameters is presented and validated.
