Stress Relaxation Damage Analysis for High Temperature Bolting

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the stress relaxation damage mechanisms of high temperature (HT) bolts of ultra-supercritical steam turbine units. Based on creep damage mechanisms and relaxation characteristics, the paper proposes a life prediction model, and by which to predict relaxation damage life of HT bolting material 1Cr10NiMoW2VNbN. Validation results indicate that the developed model has led to better consistent results with experimental data and thus can be recommended in relaxation life evaluation of HT materials.
