Abstract: | A series of creep-fatigue tests has been conducted with modified 9Cr-1Mo steel at 873 K in a high vacuum environment of 0.1 mPa. In order to investigate the accumulation of creep-fatigue damage, the creep-fatigue test programme includes changes in strain waveform during the test: from creep-fatigue type to fatigue type and from fatigue type to creep-fatigue type. The conventional linear cumulative damage rule for fatigue and/or creep-fatigue damage fails in evaluating the creep-fatigue life under the present complicated strain wave history. The linear summation of the life fraction is smaller than unity when the prior loading is creep-fatigue type and larger than unity when the prior loading is fatigue type. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation of the fracture surface was also conducted. In the case where the strain waveform changes from prior creep-fatigue type to subsequent fatigue type, the crack mode changes from transgranular to intergranular with an increase in the prior creep-fatigue loading history. In the case where the strain waveform changes from prior fatigue type to subsequent creep-fatigue type, the primary crack mode is generally intergranular regardless of the prior fatigue loading history. |
