Abstract
The paper is concerned with the correlation of tension and thick-walled cylinder creep data obtained at 450°C for a 0·19 per cent carbon steel. It is tentatively concluded that the Soderberg analysis provides reasonable correlation in the secondary creep region, and it has the considerable advantage that it only requires creep data from a single tension creep test. Previous work reported in the literature shows that this approach is also satisfactory in predicting creep rupture of cylinders. Reasonable correlation has been established using the more detailed and complex analysis proposed by Johnson, Henderson, and Khan. It is concluded that more extensive creep data, including torsion creep data, are required.
This paper forms one of four devoted to research into the creep of thick-walled cylinders.
