Zusammenfassung:Recent changes in the design of steam turbine power plant have necessitated the replacement of bolted flanges with welded joints. The design process therefore requires a knowledge of the creep rupture strength of the weld metal consumed in the welding process. This paper presents a method which can be used to estimate the creep rupture strength of ferritic steel weld metals, from a knowledge of the creep strength of wrought plates. The method is validated using published data.
