日本原子力研究開発機構で実施した改良9Cr-1Mo鋼の構造物熱過渡強度試験結果を、高速炉規格2012年版で新たに登録された改良9Cr-1Mo鋼の材料特性値を用いてクリープ疲労評価を実施した。高速炉規格に準じた設計裕度を含むクリープ疲労損傷評価の結果、表面き裂1mmを破損のクライテリアとして仮定した場合には繰返し数で約300倍の裕度を有することが確認された。

To validate the failure mode and assess creep-fatigue damage evaluation, a thick cylinder test model made of Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel was subjected to 1,873 cycles of accelerated thermal transient loading using a large-scale sodium loop through which liquid sodium at 600C and 250C flowed repeatedly, with the period of each transient being 2 h and 1 h, respectively. After completion of the test, liquid penetrant testing, a surface observation and hardness testing were performed to characterize failure mode. Based on the finite element analysis, creep-fatigue life was evaluated by applying the JSME FRs code. The failure cycles evaluated by rules described in the JSME FRs code was shown to have a safety margin of greater than 300 times for this system.
