Characteristics of the high homologous temperature VBO model under extreme conditions such as very fast and very slow tensile tests, long-term-creep and relaxation tests are investigated via numerical experiments and analysis. To this end, material constants of Alloy 800H determined from other tests in Part 1 were utilized for the prediction. Although no experiments are available for the extreme conditions, the predictions are plausible. For cyclic, strain controlled hold-time tests the predictions compare well with sparse experimental data. The results give confidence that VBO can be used to predict the long-term behavior at high homologous temperature once the constants have been determined from regular, short-term tests.
