Remnant Life Prediction of Service-Exposed 12Cr1MoV Superheater Tube in Power Plant

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tensile test at ambient temperature, tensile test at high temperature and high temperature tensile creep test were carried out before remnant life prediction. According to the high temperature tensile creep test data, the relationship between working stress, working temperature and rupture life was obtained by MATLAB surface fitting tool. In order to obtain the temperature field and stress field of the superheater tube, ANSYS software was used. Then, the remnant life of the superheater tube was predicted by the extrapolating method and the relationship between working stress, working temperature and rupture life.
