Abstract
The following paper presents the results of tests on samples made of P91 steel under the conditions of simultaneously occurring fatigue and creep at a temperature of 600 °C. The load program consisted of symmetrical fatigue cycles with tensile dwell times to introduce creep. Static load (creep) was carried out by stopping the alternating load at the maximum value of the alternating stress. The tests were carried out for two load dwell times, 5 s and 30 s. A comparative analysis of the test results of fatigue load with a dwell time on each cycle confirmed that creep accompanying the variable load causes a significant reduction in sample durability. It was shown in the paper that regarding the creep influence in the linear fatigue damage summation approach, it is possible to improve the compliance of the fatigue life predictions with the experimental results.
