Abstract

At elevated temperature, creep failures of polycrystalline metals after long-term constant loading are often caused by the nucleation, growth and coalescence of creep voids on the grain boundaries. Void fraction is an important parameter for the evaluation of creep damage level of structural materials operating at high temperature. In this paper, a 2-D numerical simulation method was developed for analyzing the void fraction evolution during the process of creep, based on some hypothesis from experiments. The model was implemented and then was used to predict the evolution of void fraction in the 2.25Cr-1Mo steel of uniaxial creep experiment at 570  ℃, in which the simulation results showed good agreement with the experimental results.
