title = "Creep of nickel base alloys in high temperature water",
abstract = "Creep tests were performed to compare the creep behavior of commercial nickel-base alloys as a function of stress, temperature and the environment. Alloy 600 (nominal and low carbon) and the precipitation strengthened alloys 625 and X-750 in the AH and HTH conditions were tested at constant load in deaerated primary water containing 40-60cc/kg hydrogen. The stress dependence of Alloy 600 in the mill-annealed (MA) condition was obtained at 337°C and 360°C. The stress exponent was determined to be between 3 and 9. The activation energy for creep was 64 kcal/mole. Both results support a dislocation climb controlled mechanism of creep in commercial Alloy 600. The creep results were compared to the known SCC performance of these alloys. The creep rates of the LC alloy are higher on average than those with nominal carbon level. Intergranular cracking occurred only in the X-750 AH alloy and the precipitation treated LC A600 alloy. These results support earlier work that showed that low carbon alloys are more susceptible to creep and IG cracking than are high carbon alloys. However, these results also show a smaller influence of a water environment on the creep rate of commercial, creep-resistant alloys compared to high purity alloys.",
