Abstract
Abstract The properties of Hastelloy XR, which is a developed alloy as the structural material for high-temperature components of the HTTR, under creep-fatigue interaction conditions were examined by performing a series of axial strain-controlled fully reversed fatigue tests in the simulated HTGR helium gas environment at 700, 800, 900 and 950°C. Two types of evaluation techniques, i.e., the life fraction rule and the ductility exhaustion one, were applied for the evaluation of the creep damage during the strain holding. The fatigue life reduction due to the strain holding is observed even at hold times of 6 s, and the saturation point of the fatigue life reduction shifts to the shorter hold time side with increasing temperature. The life fraction rule predicts an excessively conservative value for the creep damage. The ductility exhaustion rule can predict the fatigue life under the effective creep condition much more successfully than the life fraction one.
