The creep-rupture behavior of six candidate Stirling engine iron-base superalloys was determined in air. The alloys tested included four wrought alloys (A-286, INCOLOY Alloy 800H, N-155, and 19-9DL) and two cast alloys (CRM-6D and XF-818). The wrought alloys were evaluated in the form of sheet; the cast alloy specimens were investment cast to shape. The creep-rupture specimens were tested in air for up to 3000 hours over the temperature range 650/sup 0/ to 925/sup 0/C. Microstructural and fractographic aspects of the ruptured specimens are discussed with a few correlational graphical analyses included for XF-818 and 19-9DL. Tests are continuing in 15 MPa hydrogen, and later these data will be correlated with air data and microstructural analysis of the specimens conducted.
