Abstract
This paper presents the higherature low-cycle fatigue (HTLCF) behavior of a precipitate strengthened 9Cr martensitic steel, MarBN, designed to provide enhanced creep strength and precipitate stability at high temperature. The strain-controlled test program addresses the cyclic effects of strain-rate and strain-range at 600 °C, as well as tensile stress-relaxation response. A recently developed unified cyclic viscoplastic material model is implemented to characterize the complex cyclic and relaxation plasticity response, including cyclic softening and kinematic hardening effects. The measured response is compared to that of P91 steel, a current power plant material, and shows enhanced cyclic strength relative to P91.
