The high-temperature multiaxial creep behaviour of alloy 800H tubes

Literature concerning the development of mechanistic and empirical models of creep deformation and failure, under uniaxial and multiaxial stress systems are reviewed. The detailed metallurgy of the alloy is discussed and its specific creep behaviour in the experimental temperature range is reviewed from published experimental data, mostly obtained from the Alloy 800 Data Bank of the EEC Joint Research Centre at Petten.
