Abstract:

A procedure based on Theta-methodology coupled with the knowledge of oxidation kinetics is envisaged for quantitatively assessing the effect of oxidation on creep curves. The procedure is based on the generation of a series of real constant-stress creep curves, at different stress and temperature levels, in inert atmosphere, where the effects due to oxidation are kept to a minimum level. Stress enhancement factors due to the effect of area reduction on specimen cross-section with plastic deformation and oxidation are defined for constant-stress or constant-load creep testing. These factors can be used in the integration of the strain-rate equation related to the 4θ - parameter analysis, to derive constant-stress or constant-load curves in air using either the strain hardening or time hardening theories. Although systematic constant-stress creep data in vacuum are not yet available to test the methodology effectively, a preliminary simulation is done to demonstrate how the model works, to check its performance and the possibilities of analysis.

More about this publication?

• Materials at High Temperatures serves the needs of those who develop and use materials for high temperature applications. It publishes peer reviewed contributions relating to high temperature applications in the power, chemical, engine, processing and furnace industries.

  The effects of high temperatures on corrosion, fatigue, creep, strength and wear in alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, refractories and composites are covered. Papers dealing with aspects of materials usage including modelling of behaviour and life prediction will be particularly welcome. The journal has a policy of emphasizing practical aspects and authors presenting results from research programmes are encouraged to relate these, if possible, to actual or potential applications.
