Study of the Creep Deformation of Sanicro 25 Austenitic Steel by Computer Simulations

Abstract:

The Abaqus software was used to simulate the creep behavior of a cylindrical tube of Sanicro-25 austenitic steel under an internal pressure of 11.3 MPa at a uniform temperature at 750 °C. The data used for the simulation input were obtained from the experimental data of a previous work. The hidden information of material parameters was estimated from the shape of creep strain versus time plots obtained from the experimental data. The validated results between the simulation and the experimental data produced the material parameter of the creep power law which were set at 2.6 x 10^-22 for the power law constant and 9 for the stress exponent. The parameters were further used to explore the stress and strain inside and outside of the tube wall and the thickness changes of the tube wall.
