C.2. Creep Property | Status of Metallic Materials Development for Application in Advanced High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor / Material | doi.org/10.13182/NT84-A33429
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Creep rupture tests on six candidate alloys for intermediate heat exchangers of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors were carried out at 1173 to 1323 K in helium with small amounts of H2, CH4, CO, and C02, and at 1173K in H2 + 15% CO + 5% C02. The creep rupture strengths of each alloy were scarcely different at 1173 K in both environments. At higher temperatures in helium environments, the degradation of the creep rupture strengths appeared in carbide-strengthened alloys because of decarburization. The alloy, which mainly uses α-W as a strengthener, showed stable creep rupture strength up to 1323 K in spite of severe decarburization.
