Creep-rupture, fatigue, and creep-fatigue tests were performed on solution-annealed seam welds from five type 316 stainless steel formed-and-welded pipes. Test specimens were oriented in both longitudinal and transverse directions with respect to the axial seam welds. All tests were performed in air. Creep-rupture tests were performed at 538 and 649 °C and had maximum rupture lives of approximately 7000 h; fatigue tests were performed at 593 °C for total strain ranges of 0.5 and 2.0%; and creep-fatigue tests were performed at 593 °C with total strain ranges of 1 and 2% and a tensile hold time of 0.1 h.
