Features: The book is divided into ten chapters, with the main content covering the rupture accidents and damage causes of high-temperature components in steam turbines and boilers, material aging, creep damage, and the life of high-temperature components, the high-temperature creep brittleness of heat-resistant steels, creep fracture toughness, the role of creep fracture toughness in the life assessment of high-temperature components, the unreliability of traditional life assessment methods, the damage and crack propagation life of high-temperature components, the mechanisms of creep (creep-fatigue) damage and crack propagation, the comprehensive life assessment of high-temperature components, and the monitoring and life management of high-temperature components. This book is suitable for engineering technicians and researchers engaged in metal materials, metallurgy, machinery, high-temperature component design, and related power plant fields, as well as for faculty and students in higher education institutions in relevant disciplines... This book is a specialized work with innovative and unique insights on the comprehensive life assessment of high-temperature components, creep damage and crack propagation models, creep, and fracture mechanisms under the interaction of creep-fatigue.
