Overview
High-temperature creep is a time-dependent phenomenon characterized by gradual, continuous deformation, affecting all metals and alloys, under the combined action of temperature and stress.
This eBook will focus on typical damage morphology and inspection methods used to identify and characterize high-temperature creep. A high-level overview of creep behavior in carbon steels and other alloys will also be presented, and generally accepted temperature thresholds defining the lower boundary of the creep regime for varying materials will be discussed.
Additionally, commonly affected pressure equipment in the oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and related industries will be outlined, and critical factors influencing damage susceptibility will be reviewed. Furthermore, examples of creep damage and in-service failures will be summarized to offer insight into this complex damage mechanism.
