This study presents creep characteristics of Mod. 9Cr-1Mo steel with various sized specimens and environment. Creep tests were performed using three different sizes of specimen and three different type of testing environment. Specimens are a bulk specimen which has 6mm diameter and 30mm gage length, a miniature specimen which has 2mm diameter and 10mm gage length and a thin plate specimen which has 0.76mm thickness, 1.5mm width and 7.62mm gage length. Three different type of testing environment are air, 99.99% Ar gas and vacuum. In the same environmental condition, there was no effect of specimen size on time to rupture. Time to rupture of Mod. 9Cr-1Mo steel in Ar gas was shorter than that in air and vacuum. Oxide thickness is not dominant factor in time to rupture. Fracture mode at specimen surface in Ar gas might be dominant factor in shorter time to rupture. Effect of specimen size and environment on creep strength of Mod. 9Cr-1Mo steel was evaluated on the basis of thinning.

This stady was performed in order to confirm the influence of sampling method on Creep properties of 9Cr-Mo steel forgings which are promising as candidate materials for steam generator of large scale fast breeder reactor. This results are to be reflected on fundation of materials strength standard. Test materials are four kinds of 9Cr-Mo steel forgings (thickness:250280mmt) such as Mod.9Cr-1Mo (F4, F8 heats), 9Cr-1Mo-Nb-V(G3 heat), 9Cr-2Mo (H6 heat) steels. Results obtained are summarized as follows. (1)In order to evaluation of fundamental material properties, creep-rupture data on three kinds of 9Cr-Mo steel forgings such as Mod.9Cr-1Mo, 9Cr-2Mo and 9Cr-1Mo-Nb-V steels was obtained up to 10,000 hours. (2)The Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel exhibited most excellent creep-rupture strength and the 9Cr-2Mo steel was the worst among the three. (3)The effect of the sampling location of specimens on creep strength was not significant for Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel. But for 9Cr-1Mo-Nb-V steel and 9Cr-2Mo steel, longer creep rupture time was observed with spcimens taken from just below the center of the surface with direction of L, and shorter creep rupture time was observed for those taken from t/2 thickness at the center with direction of Z. (4)Creep strength of 9Cr-2Mo steel was lower than that of Mod.9Cr-1Mo (F4, F8)and 9Cr-1Mo-Nb-V steel. But rupture elongation and reduction of area of 9Cr-2Mo steel was greater than hat of other three materials, irrespective of the sampling location of specimens.
