Abstract
A large number of parametric methods were proposed to calculate the characteristics of the long-term strength of metals. All of them are based on the fact that temperature and time are mutually compensating factors in the processes of metal degradation at high temperature under the action of a constant stress. The analysis of the well-known Larson-Miller, Dorn-Shcherby, Menson-Haferd, Graham-Wallace, and Trunin parametric equations is performed. The widely used Larson-Miller parameter was subjected to a detailed analysis. The application of this parameter to the calculation of ultimate long-term strength for steels and alloys is substantiated provided that the laws of exponential dependence on temperature and power dependence on strength for the heat resistance are observed. It is established that the coefficient C in the Larson- Miller equation is a characteristic of the heat resistance and is different for each material. Therefore, the use of a universal constant C = 20 in parametric calculations, as well as an a priori presetting of numerical C values for each individual group of materials, is unacceptable. It is shown in what manner it is possible to determine an exact value of coefficient C for any material of interest as well as to obtain coefficient C depending on stress in case such a dependence is manifested. At present, the calculation of long-term strength characteristics can be performed to a sufficient accuracy using Larson-Miller’s parameter and its refinements described therein as well as on the condition that a linear law in logσ–Р dependence is observed and calculations in the interpolation range is performed. The use of the presented recommendations makes it possible to obtain a linear parametric logσ–Р dependence, which makes it possible to determine to a sufficient accuracy the values of ultimate long-term strength for different materials.
