Test data for uniaxial creep on material ALLOY 800H at 800 Celsius and a stress of 40.14 MPa

The creep rupture data in this collection were determined for the high temperature reactor projects (the direct cycle helium turbine project, the nuclear process heat project and the district heating project) of the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of North Rhine Westphalia, the aim being to qualify the candidate constructional alloys for service at temperatures up to 950°C. Several batches of each alloy were investigated and special attention was given to the effects of the service environments (helium containing different impurity gases, such as hydrogen, water vapour, carbon monoxide and methane, all at microbar levels, and methane reforming gas mixture) on the properties. In the test machines, these test environments led to carburisation of test pieces. However, analysis of the data showed that the stress rupture data for tests in air, in impure helium and in methane reforming gas lay in the same scatterband at each temperatures tested.

The data were used for the formulation of draft nuclear design rules for the high temperature reactor systems, which are summarised in 'Proceedings of the Workshop on Structural Design Criteria for HTR', G Breitbach, F Schubert, H Nickel, Jül-Conf-71, April 1989, Berichte der Kernforschungsanlage Jülich GmbH, ISSN 0344-5798.

本数据集收录的蠕变断裂数据，源自德意志联邦共和国及北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚州的高温反应堆项目（包括直接循环氦气涡轮机项目、核工艺热项目与区域供热项目），旨在评定候选结构合金在最高950℃工况下的服役适用性。本次研究对每种合金的多个批次开展了试验，并重点考察了服役环境对材料性能的影响，试验环境包括含微量杂质气体的氦气（杂质含氢气、水蒸气、一氧化碳及甲烷，分压均为微巴级别）以及甲烷重整混合气。试验过程中，上述环境会导致试样发生渗碳。但数据分析显示，在各试验温度下，空气、不纯氦气及甲烷重整气环境下的应力断裂数据均处于同一数据散布带内。
