Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This RAIS project follows a successful ESR21 project on Microstructural Modelling of Ferritic/Martensitic Steels for Supercritical Power Plant (GR/N13074). The techniques developed in the course of the ESR21 project will first be applied to a more complex industrial R&D application. This involves the investigation of effects of high temperature creep strain on microstructural evolution and creep damage development in high alloy steels and weld metals. The microstructural modelling techniques used in the ESR21 work will then be further developed for practical application in power plant design, operation, and technical consultancy. Finally, the modelling techniques will be extended to improve continuum damage mechanics modelling of the effects of microstructure on creep strain, in addition to thermal exposure.
