CREEP BEHAVIOR MODELING OF UDIMET 720Li SUPERALLOY

Constant load creep tests on isothermally forged Udimet 720Li, an advanced superalloy for gas turbine disc application, were run in the stress/temperature field 900-450MPa/650-700℃ produeing rupture times in the 20-5000h range. The creep curves have shown a predominant accelerating creep stage, that has been described by the following equation:
