Abstract:In present work, the creep rupture life of 9% Cr heat-resistant steel (P91) was evaluated based on the creep cavitation modelling. At 873 K, a series of creep rupture tests were carried out under the stresses of 140-190 MPa to achieve several sets of ruptured specimens . The constrained and unconstrained models of cavity growth were introduced to investigate the creep behaviour of P91 steel. The obtained results showed that the rupture mechanism of these specimens was mainly attributed to the ductile rupture under the present creep conditions. Besides, reasonable extrapolations were calculated to predict the creep rupture life of P91 steel by combining different constitutive equations with the cavity growth model. It suggested that the model predictions with constraints were better than those with unconstrained conditions. In particular, the Sinh equation based constrained cavity model shows greater potential in predicting the long-term creep life of P91 steel.
