Title: Kinetics and mechanisms of creep crack growth in a creep-resisting steel

Journal Article · · Strength Mater. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5633708

This paper discusses the nature of kinetic diagrams of growth of fatigue cracks in the temperature range typical of operation of important components of power equipment and examines the proportion of the incubation period of crack growth in the total life. The relationship of the kinetic diagrams of crack growth with the fracture mechanisms are examined and the effect of running life on creep crack propagation is reviewed.
