Abstract
In residual life evaluation of fossil power plants, improvement of accuracy of creep damage evaluation is extremely important. One of the powerful non-destructive evaluation methods is hardness test. This method is effective because it enables us the on-site evaluation and the results are obtained without laborious work. However, in order to make it more powerful method, improvement of accuracy is inevitable. In this paper, the Vickers hardness test not at ambient but at high temperature is applied to the deteriorated rotor material and the method for the residual life evaluation with high accuracy is newly developed. In the method, creep constitutive law is determined from the results of hot hardness test first. Next, the variation of constitutive law with the creep damage is investigated. Finally, the dependency of exponent of constitutive law on the creep damage is shown and the method to evaluate the creep damage from this dependency will be proposed.
