HIGH-TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS OF STAINLESS …
temperatures are covered by ASTM Specifications E21 and E151. For long-term service at temperatures about 900°F (482°C), design information is obtained from creep and creep-rupture tests. However, at temperatures above 1500°F (816°C), the short-time data are useful as a guide for hot-working operations. Figure 1 illustrates a broad concept of
