Abstract
‘Early’ creep-fatigue crack growth rates have been measured in complex-cycle large single edge notched bend feature-specimen tests on a 1¼ CrMoV turbine casting steel at 550°C. Crack propagation rates initially accelerate with increasing distance below the stress concentration to a peak value. The depth at which this maximum occurs depends on the notch geometry and the magnitude of any superimposed primary loading. ‘Early’ creep-fatigue crack growth rates are dependent on crack size, notch root strain range and any creep damage accumulated due to primary and secondary loading.
