High Temperatures - Higher Stress Applications

Printer Friendly Page
Minimum 0.2% and 1.0% proof stress and some tensile strength values at elevated temperatures are presented for pertinent steels from Euronorm 88-86 and 95-79, from British Standards and from DIN/SEW400. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code 1992, Section II Part D has data for some UNS designations.

Above 550°C, the strength of austenitic Cr-Ni type steels become very time dependent as illustrated by the estimated average stress values producing 1% strain or rupture in 10,000 or 100,000 hours (based on Euronorm 95-79 and BS 1501 part 3.1990). Allowable design stresses may be found in:
BS 5500 Specification for unfired fusion welded pressure vessels ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1992 Section II Part D, tables 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B.

Absence of quoted values above 250-300°C for ferritic, martensitic and duplex steels reflects their susceptibilities to embrittlement at higher temperatures.
