Objective

This project aims at understanding the TMF behaviour in advanced steels and weldments by developing fracture mechanics based model. Proposal will cover a survey of isothermal and thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF). For new high chrome steels and their weldments the effects of TMF and residual stresses on defects need to be established, modelled and validated since only limited data and the corresponding modelling of the behaviour for TMF tests exist.

The programme covers a plan for deriving high temperature properties as well as LCF, TMF tests on cracked and uncracked components. The results and the models will be validated and included in a new life assessment methodology.
