1、Designation: E 1457 07Standard Test Method forMeasurement of Creep Crack Growth Times in Metals1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1457; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of creep crackgrowth (CCG) in metals at elevated temperatures using pre-cracked specimens

3、subjected to static or quasi-static loadingconditions. The time (CCI), t0.2to an initial crack extensiondai= 0.2 mm from the onset of first applied force and creepcrack growth rate, a or da/dt is expressed in terms of themagnitude of creep crack growth relating parameters, C*orK.With C* defined as t

4、he steady state determination of the cracktip stresses derived in principal from C*(t) and Ct(1-14).2Thecrack growth derived in this manner is identified as a materialproperty which can be used in modeling and life assessmentmethods (15-25).1.1.1 The choice of the crack growth correlating parameterC

5、*, C*(t), Ct,orK depends on the material creep properties,geometry and size of the specimen. Two types of materialbehavior are generally observed during creep crack growthtests; creep-ductile (1-14) and creep-brittle (26-37). In creepductile materials, where creep strains dominate and creep crackgro

6、wth is accompanied by substantial time-dependent creepstrains at the crack tip, the crack growth rate is correlated bythe steady state definitions of Ctor C*(t), defined as C* (see1.1.4). In creep-brittle materials, creep crack growth occurs atlow creep ductility. Consequently, the time-dependent cr

7、eepstrains are comparable to or dominated by accompanyingelastic strains local to the crack tip. Under such steady statecreep-brittle conditions, Ctor K could be chosen as thecorrelating parameter (8-14).1.1.2 In any one test, two regions of crack growth behaviormay be present (9, 10). The initial t

8、ransient region whereelastic strains dominate and creep damage develops and in thesteady state region where crack grows proportionally to time.Steady-state creep crack growth rate behavior is covered bythis standard. In addition specific recommendations are madein 11.7 as to how the transient region

9、 should be treated in termsof an initial crack growth period. During steady state, a uniquecorrelation exists between da/dt and the appropriate crackgrowth rate relating parameter.1.1.3 In creep ductile materials, extensive creep occurswhen the entire uncracked ligament undergoes creep deforma-tion.

10、 Such conditions are distinct from the conditions ofsmall-scale creep and transition creep (1-7). In the case ofextensive creep, the region dominated by creep deformation issignificant in size in comparison to both the crack length andthe uncracked ligament sizes. In small-scale-creep only a smallre

11、gion of the uncracked ligament local to the crack tipexperiences creep deformation.1.1.4 The creep crack growth rate in the extensive creepregion is correlated by the C*(t)-integral. The Ctparametercorrelates the creep crack growth rate in the small-scale creepand the transition creep regions and re

12、duces, by definition, toC*(t) in the extensive creep region (5). Hence in this documentthe definition C* is used as the relevant parameter in the steadystate extensive creep regime whereas C*(t) and/or Ctare theparameters which describe the instantaneous stress state fromthe small scale creep, trans

13、ient and the steady state regimes increep. The recommended functions to derive C* for thedifferent geometries is shown in Annex A1 is described inAnnex A2.1.1.5 An engineering definition of an initial crack extensionsize daiis used in order to quantify the initial period of crackdevelopment. This di

14、stance is given as 0.2 mm. It has beenshown (38-40) that this period which exists at the start of thetest could be a substantial period of the test time. During thisearly period the crack tip undergoes damage development aswell as redistribution of stresses prior reaching steady state.Recommendation

15、 is made to correlate this initial crack growthperiod defined as t0.2at dai= 0.2 mm with the steady state C*when the crack tip is under extensive creep and with K forcreep brittle conditions. The values for C* and K should becalculated at the final specified crack size defined as ao+ daiwhere aoinit

The clevis setup is shown in Fig.A1.2 (see 7.2.1 fordetails). Additional geometries whi

In Fig. A1.3, the specimens side-grooving position for measuring displacement at the force-line(FLD) crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) and alsoand pos

20、itions for the potential drop (PD) input and output leadsare shown. Recommended loading for the tension specimens ispin-loading. The configurations, size range and initial cracksize and their extent of side-grooving are given in Table A1.1of Annex A1, (40-44). Specimen selection will be discussed in

21、5.9.1.1.7 The state-of-stress at the crack tip may have aninfluence on the creep crack growth behavior and can causecrack-front tunneling in plane-sided specimens. Specimen size,geometry, crack length, test duration and creep properties willaffect the state-of-stress at the crack tip and are importa

22、ntfactors in determining crack growth rate. A recommended sizerange of test specimens and their side-grooving are given inTable A1.1 in Annex A1. It has been shown that for this rangethe cracking rates do not vary for a range of materials andloading conditions (40-44). Suggesting that the level of c

23、on-straint, for the relatively short term test durations (less than oneyear), does not vary within the range of normal data scatterobserved in tests of these geometries. However it is recom-mended that, within the limitations imposed on the laboratory,that tests are performed on different geometries

24、, specimen size,dimensions and crack size starters. In all cases a comparison ofthe data from the above should be made by testing the standardC(T) specimen where possible. It is clear that increasedconfidence in the materials crack growth data can be producedby testing a wider range of specimen type

25、s and conditions asdescribed above.1.1.8 Material inhomogenities, residual stresses and mate-rial degradation at temperature, specimen geometry and low-force long duration tests (mainly greater that one year) caninfluence the rate of crack growth properties (39-47). In caseswhere residual stresses e

26、xist, the effect can be significant whentest specimens are taken from material that characteristicallyembodies residual stress fields or the damaged material. Forexample weldments, and/or thick cast, forged, extruded, com-ponents, plastically bent components and complex componentshapes where full st

27、ress relief is impractical. Specimens takenfrom such component that contain residual stresses will like-wise contain residual stresses which may have altered is theirextent and distribution due to specimen fabrication. Extractionof specimens in itself partially relieves and redistributes theresidual

28、 stress pattern; however, the remaining magnitude canstill cause significant effects in the ensuing test. Residual stressis superimposed on applied stress and results in crack-tip stressintensity that is different from that based solely on externallyapplied forces or displacements. Distortion during

29、 specimenmachining can also indicate the presence of residual stresses.1.1.9 Stress relaxation of the residual stresses due to creepand crack extension should also be taken into consideration.No specific allowance is included in this standard for dealingwith these variations. However the method of c

30、alculating C*presented in this document which used the specimens creepdisplacement rate to estimate C* inherently takes into accountthe effects described above as reflected by the instantaneouscreep strains that have been measured. However extra cautionshould still be observed with the analysis of t

31、hese types of testsas the correlating parameters K and C* shown in Annex A2even though it is expected that stress relaxation at hightemperatures could in part negate the effects due to residualstresses.1.1.10 Specimen configurations and sizes other than thoselisted in Table A1.1 which are tested und

32、er constant force willinvolve further validity requirements. This is done by compar-ing data from recommended test configurations. Nevertheless,use of other geometries are applicable by this method provideddata are compared to data obtained from standard specimens(as identified in Table A1.1) and th

33、e appropriate correlatingparameters have been validated.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It

34、is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Scope of Material Properties Data Resulting from ThisStandard2.1 This test method covers the determination of initialcree

35、p crack extension (CCI) times and growth (CCG) in metalsat elevated temperature using pre-cracked specimens subjectedto static or quasi-static loading conditions. The metallic mate-rials investigated range from creep-ductile to creep-brittleconditions.2.2 The crack growth rate a or da/dt is expresse

36、d in terms ofthe magnitude of CCG rate relating parameters, C*(t), Ctor K.The resulting output derived as avC* (as the steady stateformulation of C*(t), Ctfor creep-ductile materials or as avK(for creep-brittle materials) is deemed as material property forCCG.2.3 In addition for CCI derivation of cr
