Behavior of complex loaded components in the creep range

  • 1. Staatliche Materialpruefungsanstalt, Stuttgart (Germany)

Description

Components of power and other plants which operate in the elevated temperature range, where time-dependent creep deformation occurs are exposed to complex loading. Creep and fatigue loading but also corrosive influences constitute essential factors limiting the lifetime of these components. Typical loading situations are explained using examples of power plant components. In this paper selected research projects running in the Federal Republic of Germany and in particular at MPA Stuttgart and the results obtained to date are presented. The projects concentrate on the treatment of creep-fatigue on nozzles of piping and valve casings, the damage process in pipe bends under static creep loading, the life assessment of a dissimilar weldment in the watersteam circuit of the HTR plant and the failure and deformation behavior of a reactor tank wall of an LMFBR under creep loading with superimposed bending moment
