Creep-Fatigue Crack Initiation Simulation of a Modified 12% Cr Steel Based on Grain Boundary Cavitation and Plastic Slip Accumulation

High-temperature components in power plants may fail due to creep and fatigue. Creep damage is usually accompanied by the nucleation, growth, and coalescence of grain boundary cavities, while fatigue damage is caused by excessive accumulated plastic deformation due to the local stress concentration....
