Description

The creep property of four austenitic stainless steels (316Ti, 347, HR3C and 6XN) was investigated with test machine under four conditions: 550℃/90 MPa, 600℃/85 MPa, 650℃/70 MPa and 700℃/65 MPa. 347 showed the best creep property under the 550℃/90 MPa condition while HR3C gradually got the upper hand above 600℃. 316Ti displays the worst creep property under all the test conditions. Based on the test data analysis, the stress index followed an order of 316Ti > 347 > HR3C and the activation energy HR3C > 347 > 316Ti, which suggests the creep property order as HR3C > 347 >316Ti.
