Significant reduction in creep life of P91 steam pipe elbow caused by an aberrant microstructure after short-term service

Abstract P91 steel is an important steam pipe for ultra-supercritical power plants due to its excellent creep strength, which generally has a design life of 100,000 h. Here, we found a significant aberrant decrease in the creep rupture life of a main steam pipe elbow after only 20,000 h of service....
