Mb. Ruggles et al., THE RATE-DEPENDENT MECHANICAL-BEHAVIOR OF MODIFIED 9WT-PERCENT-CR-1WT-PERCENT-MO STEEL AT 538-DEGREES-C, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 186(1-2), 1994, pp. 15-21
Uniaxial, strain controlled tests at strain rates ranging from 5.0 x 1
0(-3) to 1.0 x 10(-7) s(-1) combined with relaxation tests were perfor
med to determine the mechanical behavior and the influence of recovery
of state and other softening mechanisms. In addition, attempts were m
ade to measure the equilibrium (back) stress of modified 9wt.%Cr-1wt.%
Mo steel at 538 degrees C using McLean-type dip tests. Testing was per
formed with an MTS servohydraulic computer-controlled testing machine,
a clamshell furnace and an MTS high temperature extensometer which me
asured the strain on the gauge length of the specimen.
