Abstract
AbstractThe influence of oxidation on the estimation of long-term creep rupture strength is investigated for 2.25% chromium (Cr)–1% molybdenum (Mo) steel specified as JIS STBA 24, JIS SCMV 4 NT, and ASTM A542/A542M by the Larson–Miller method using creep rupture data in the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) Creep Data Sheets at 450–650 °C for up to 313,000 h. The creep rupture data exhibit a change in slope of the stress versus time to rupture curves due to oxidation in air during 600 °C creep tests at 15,000–40,000 h and 650 °C tests at 2000–3500 h for different size specimens, which indicates degradation in creep life by the oxidation. The estimated 100,000 h creep rupture strength using regression analysis is increased by the elimination of long-term data degraded by the oxidation. Several metallurgical factors, such as the initial strength represented by the 0.2% proof stress at the creep test temperature and the concentration of aluminum (Al) impurity, also affect the creep life of the tested steel.
