Analysis of creep damage in main steam piping components of power stations
by W. Bendick, H. Weber
International Journal of Materials and Product Technology (IJMPT), Vol. 4, No. 1, 1989

Abstract: The fracture behaviour of components is influenced by damage mechanisms and service conditions. A classification of components with respect to safety risk and availability is possible. According to this classification nondestructive test methods can be chosen in a reasonable manner. Material damage causes a degradation of material properties. For this reason, and because of a lack of calculation methods, a continuation of service in the tertiary creep range cannot be recommended. This is especially important for components for which leakage before fracture cannot be presumed.
