This paper describes the creep-fatigue, fatigue and creep rupture properties of advanced 316 steel (316FR) at high temperature. 316FR steel showed excellent creep-fatigue lives which were superior at longer strain hold time conditions compared with conventional type 316, 304 stainless steels. 316 FR steel also indicated higher creep rupture strength and ductility than conventional steels. This paper also describes the effect of microstructure of 316 FR steel on creep-fatigue strength. Finally, the applicability of 316 FR steel for two types of creep-fatigue evaluation methods, time function rule and ductility exhaustion method, was examined.
