Evaluation of Creep-Fatigue-Environment Interaction Based on Mechanical Response

Creep-Fatigue Tests were made with 304 stainless steel at 650 - C and with 2 1/ 4cr - lmo steel at 550 - Cin arr and vacuum of 0.1 mPa and 0.1 <mu>Pa under a wide variety of strain loading conditions. Teststress-strain response and fatigue properties were stored in a data base for furtheranalyses.It was shown that the stress-strain response is independent of test environments for bothsteels. A measured stress is composed of the overstress and the internal stress. the internal stressof 304 steel is composed of the back stress. However, in 2 1/4Cr-1Mo steel，the internal stress is composed of the drag component and back component of the stress. the304 steel depend upon both inelastic strain rate and strain range overstress and back stress of 304 steel depend upon both inelastic strain rate and strain rangeHowever, in 2 1/4Cr-1Mo steel，the overstress is independent of these test variables. the drag stress of this steel depends upononly a strain range. The back stress depends upon The inelastic strain rate. It was shown with bothsteels that the back stress depends upon the cyclic strain hardening or softening behavior.Thetime-independent damage factor of both steels can be described with the over压力and a meanstress. Regarding the time-dependent damage factor304 steel can be described with the overstress. But that of 2 1/4Cr-1Mo steel can bedescribed with the内部stress. Based on these resultsevaluation equation was derived for the pure creep-fatigue behavior of these two steels.Based onthe above equation环境效应was seperated from the creep-fatigue interaction and was abalyzed withmechanical quantities of stress and strain.这应该是环境效应是主要的affected by a strain rate. An evaluation oquation was obtained with respect ot the环境damage described with mechanical parameters。

Based on these results, an evaluation equation was derived for the pure creep-fatigue behavior of these two steels.Based on the above equation, the environmental effect was seperated from the creep-fatigue interaction and was abalyzed with mechanical quantities of stress and strain. It was shown that the environmental effect is mainly affected by a strain rate. An evaluation oquation was obtained with respect ot the environmental damage described with mechanical parameters.
