Popis: Small specimen test techniques (SSTT) are highly demanded in the nuclear field. In the present work, SSTT was applied to the creep tests of 15-15Ti austenitic steel. The creep behaviors of specimens with miniaturized and standard sizes were contrastively studied. The feasibility of SSTT is verified after tests under more than 20 creep conditions. The results that were obtained by miniaturized specimens are relatively conservative and they can be securely applied. The stress exponent and apparent activation creep energy of 15-15Ti are calculated as 7.7 and 428 kJ/mol, respectively. The creep microstructures are characterized by the evolution of dislocations, deformation twins, and precipitates.
