Microtomographic assessment of damage in P91 and E911 steels after long-term creep

Abstract: International audienceTwo flat hollow cylinders made of martensitic 9 wt.% Cr steels were creep deformed under in-service conditions typical of steam pipes at fossil-fuel fired power plants. Damage in the tubes was assessed through synchrotron X-ray microtomography by evaluating the shape, size and spatial-distribution of voids. The analysis of the size distribution of non-coalesced voids suggested that void growth is controlled by the plasticity constrained diffusional mechanism, a hypothesis verified by micr… Show more

“…Based on qualitative analysis for 3D tomographic reconstructions of the distribution voids of E911 and P91 steel, a theoretically derived function of taking into account nucleation and growth of voids [1] was used to evaluate the experimental obtained histograms; the distribution equation (8) proposed by Riedel fitted well with the histogram density functions of void equivalent radius R of E911 and P91 [21], while the identical value of β = 1.95 AE 0.05 (closely to 2) is characterized for the constrained diffusional mechanism of void growth and α = 1 characterized for continuum cavity nucleation [21,22].…”

“…Recently, synchrotron micro-tomography has been used to investigate the cavitation of high Cr steel [5][6][7], and continuous cavity nucleation and cavity growth models were calibrated by Xu et al [8] and an explicit creep fracture model, based on the coalescence of grain boundary cavities was derived [8]. The applicability of Xu's creep fracture lifetime model to a stress range of 120 MPa to 180 MPa and a lifetime of 2825 to 51,406 h, has been demonstrated with 87% of accuracy [9].…”
