Study of local creep properties of power-plant pipe after long-term service
Milička, Karel ; Dobeš, Ferdinand
A distribution of creep properties in the wall of exposed pipe bend was studied by means of small punch creep. The method consists in a deformation of miniaturized disc specimen by spherical punch under an influence of constant force at elevated temperature. The thickness of the disc applied in the present study was 0.5 mm. The technique is illustrated using results of the tests of pipe bend manufactured from low alloy steel of Czech designation 15128 (DIN equivalent 14MoV 6 3) after service at 540 0C and 17.1 MPa for 104,000 hours. The procedures for estimating creep rupture strength and creep ductility from small punch tests are given.
