Popis: The 9%-12% Cr-steels are strategic materials for new power plant and for component substitution for plant life extension. One of these steels, P 91 was included in the project BE-1702 (HIDA) to provide crack initiation and growth data for the improvement and validation of procedures for high-temperature defect assessment. The paper presents an outline of the testing programme and the initial results for P 91. In addition to uniaxial and static/cyclic creep crack growth tests on standard fracture mechanics geometries, feature tests are also included in the experimental programme. These consist of internally pressurised pipe welds, pipe bends and 4-point bend pipes, and C-shaped specimens. The majority of these tests are still ongoing. The static and cyclic loading conditions are being employed to consider the range of creep/fatigue interaction in this alloy. All tests are being conducted at 625°C.
