Abstract
Fatigue design method for 2.25Cr-1Mo-V steel reactors in code case 2605 (CC 2605) is reviewed. Main factors such as the accelerating function of fatigue action, the cyclic frequency, the strain damage factor (β) related to the fatigue design curves are addressed, and the applicable stress level for pure creep rupture analysis in CC 2605 is also discussed. Results indicate that, for the high loading levels, the accelerating function of fatigue action and strain damage factor contribute relatively remarkably to the fatigue design curve. The increase of cyclic frequency leads to a remarkable increase of the allowable fatigue cycle number and hence reduces the conservativeness of fatigue design curve. It should be stipulated in CC 2605 that the applicable stress level is higher than a value of around 200 MPa (slightly dependent on temperature) for the adjusted uniaxial Omega damage parameter and 16 MPa for the creep strain rate when the Omega creep-damage method is employed.
