Quarter 2 Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) - DOE Solar Program

Creep-fatigue deformation is an important consideration for a thermal receiver of a gas phase (GP) Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) system due to the constant static stress or pressure, diurnal cycling, and elevated service temperatures required for efficient operation. An accurate description of the creep-fatigue behavior, not available for five of the six candidate materials, is important for assessment of preliminary designs. This project will provide a detailed analysis of the creep-fatigue behavior and damage accumulation of a candidate structural material for a CSP solar thermal receiver to address a critical knowledge barrier for receiver design in the GP pathway concept identified in the CSP Gen3 Demonstration Roadmap. This effort includes the development of rules for the design of solar receiver components against high temperature creep-fatigue and ratcheting failure modes. The ASME Code rules for high temperature nuclear components will form the basis of the method but adjustments will be made to reflect the generally shorter, diurnal operating cycles of thermal receivers and the relative consequences of failure, comparing nuclear to solar components. This is report covers the second quarter's work, which addressed outstanding questions on alloy selection for Quarter 1, and began laying the ground work for mechanical testing.
