A Time-Temperature Parameter Study of Stress-Rupture of 316SS Under Increasing Stress

Abstract

Experimental results for eight linearly increasing stress-to rupture tests at 649°C, 732°C, and 816°C agree with analytical rupture time predictions using the Larson-Miller time-temperature parameter stress-rupture curve for the temperature range, 649°C to 899°C. An anomaly in 649°C stress-rupture behavior is disclosed, whereby the increasing stress-to-rupture time predictions at 649°C do not agree with the stress-rupture curve constructed from the actual 649°C stress-rupture data.
