Performance of 316L Stainless Steel Diffusion Welding during High Temperature Creep

Abstract

The creep and rupture test were carried out on a non-standard specimen of 316L stainless steel (316L-SS) diffused bonding joint. And the θ-projection model was used to analyze the minimum creep strain rate and the remaining life at 500°C/6 MPa when the creep strain is 0.2%. According to the test results, design criterion for the diffusion bonding component at high temperature is established. The rupture experimental results show that the remaining life extrapolated by Larsen-Miller equation is relatively consistent with that calculated by the θ project concept method.
