Abstract
The influence of pre-aging treatment on the creep properties in AISI 316 stainless steel has been investigated in the temperature range of 923∼1023 K and stresses in the range of 130∼228 MPa. Specimens were pre-aged at 1073K in air atmosphere up to 300 hours to clarity the effects of pre-aging time on creep rate. The steady state creep rate and the rupture strain increased with pre-aging treatment while the rupture time decreased with pre-aging treatment. Creep rate acceleration with pre-aging time could be described by ◎ =1.6686×10^(-4) t^(0.865) where t is the pre-aging time in seconds. Creep rate acceleration for pre-aged specimens was not strongly influenced by temperature and stress changes. Activation energy for creep decreased with pre-aging treatment and stress exponent represented by power relation increased with pre-aging time.
