Abstract
Small Punch (SP) Creep test has been recognized as a semi destructive testing method to examine residual life of creep in high temperature components. Employing 2.25Cr-1Mo steel (SCMV4), SP creep tests were conducted at 600°C both in air and in high vacuum to examine the influence of oxidation on the long-term rupture life of the SP creep tests. As a test result, the creep rupture life in air was shorter than that in vacuum when the rupture life was less than 1000 hours. Reduction of rupture lives in air was approximately a half of them tested in vacuum. However when the creep rupture life was longer than 1000 hours, little difference emerged even if the testing atmosphere was different. A thickness of the oxide scale formed on SP creep specimens in air increased with the test duration. The experimental test results showed that the oxide scale affected on a coefficient of friction between the loading ball and the SP creep specimen. Furthermore the oxide scale formed in air did not always peel off from the test specimen, and the thick oxide scale endured a part of applied load in the longer life test.
