Numerical data on creep-resistant steels. Part III

This file is a compilation of numerical data relating to steels:

• ferritic refractories ;

• austenitic refractories,

available in standards and presented in the form of tables, each corresponding to a well-defined grade (and sometimes product). Each table lists the basic characteristics (chemical analysis, tensile properties), the guaranteed values for hot yield strength (where applicable) and the creep resistance characteristics, all of which reflect the steel's field of application. At different temperatures, the most common examples are :

• unit loads causing 1% creep elongation in 100,000 hours, considered as the lower limits of the working range;

• unit loads causing creep failure in 10,000 hours, considered as the upper limits of the working range.

In the absence of some of these data, reference was made to unit loads causing creep failure in 200,000 h, considered as another lower limit of the working range.
