Reloading Stress Relaxation Behavior Analysis Based on a Creep Model for High Temperature Bolting Steel

Abstract:

An analytical method based on a creep model is being developed to investigate the effect of retightening on stress relaxation behavior for high-temperature turbine and valve studs/bolts. In order to validate the approach, the calculated results are compared to the results of uniaxial reloading stress relaxation testing, which were performed by the National Research Institute for Metals of Japan (NRIM) for 12Cr-1Mo-1W-1/4V stainless steel bolting material at 550°C. It was shown that the proposed model based on Altenbach-Gorash-Naumenko creep model for the primary and steady state creep could be applied for the present data. The calculated residual stresses versus time curves were in good agreement with the measured for initial stress level of 273.6MPa at 550°C and for specific reloading time intervals of 24, 72, 240, and 720 hours.
