Creep-to-rupture tests of T91 steel in flowing Pb–Bi eutectic melt at 550°C

“…Therefore, it may be justified to extrapolate the data obtained during creep tests in air in order to define the creep-to-rupture behavior of steel specimens exposed to LBE, below a certain stress level, where no scale cracking occurs. Such behavior was observed in [24] for Cr-steel containing 1.2 wt.% silicon.…”
