The problem of preparation of creep rupture strength data during the formulation of regulatory documents for metal-intensive power equipment

Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of compiling and updating the high-temperature creep rupture strength data for steels and alloys used in heat-and-power engineering, and various aspects of tackling the problem are discussed. Special attention is given to the necessity of processing the available creep rupture strength data by the base diagram method, the generalized and detailed representation of such data for the widest possible temperature–time ranges, and subsequent system analysis.
