5 Creep and Solution
Exercise 7 - CREEP
EXERCISE 1
A component made of steel AISI 601 undergoes a constant tensile stress 100 MPa and it operates for 3000
hours with the following loading steps:
1- 1000 hours @ 650 °C
2- 1000 hours @ 550 °C
3- 500 hours @ 600 °C
4- 500 hours @ 580 °C.
AISI 601 steel, undergoing constant stress of 100 MPa, collapses after 1000 hours @ 700 °C and in 10000
hours @ 550 °C. Calculate the damage accumulated in the component after the described loading steps
and say whether it can resist or not.
