Employing a low alloy steel and a highly-aged boiler tube, small punch creep (SPC) and miniature creep (MC) tests were performed in different atmospheres. Their valuable creep properties, e.g., deformation and rupture lives, were obtained, and then following results were revealed.
1. Miniature uniaxial plate specimen introducing an electric beam welding is developed. Their creep rupture lives were almost the same as those performed using conventional uniaxial creep specimens.2. Employing two types of time-temperature-parameter methods and MC test results, residual lives of aged boiler tubes used for 60k and 230k hours were estimated, and it was verified that both of them had a good safety margin.
