Fracture and Damage Behavior in an Advanced Heat Resistant Austenitic Stainless Steel During LCF, TMF and CF

Future advanced ultra-supercritical power plant will be run at higher temperature and pressure. New materials will be used to meet the requirements. However, the structure integrity of these materials needs to be evaluated. Sanicro 25 is a newly developed advanced austenitic heat resistant stainless steel with the aim to be used in future 700 degrees C or 650 degrees C power plants to replace part of Ni based alloys. This paper provides an overview on the fracture and damage behavior in this material during LCF, TMF and CF. The cyclic hardening and fatigue life during LCF, TMF and CF will be discussed. The influence of prolonged service degradation has been analyzed by the use of pre-aged material for TMF and CF loading conditions. (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
