Abstract

In this paper, small punch creep tests under different loads and conventional creep tests with various stresses at 550 °C were conducted on service-exposed Cr5Mo material. The theta-projection and modified theta-projection methods were used to analyze the creep curve and the minimum creep rate. The actual fracture time in the small punch creep test was 377 h, and the theta-projection method predicted a time of 339 h, which represents an error of 10.08%. The predicted time from the modified theta-projection method was 316.25 h, which represents an error of 16.11%. The curves predicted by the two models are similar. The theta-projection method is suitable for applications in small punch creep life analysis.
