Time-dependent intergranular crack-growth in Ni-base superalloys is well known, however, there is a lack of understanding of the detailed effects of oxygen interaction in the crack tips. The methodology of accessing and analysing this region is described in Materials at High Temperatures 28(4) which highlights some of the issues arising from Microscopy of Oxidation 8.

A Special Issue of Materials at High Temperatures, based on HIDA-5, considers the development of new materials for high temperature plant and the potential for the newer generation of ultra-supercritical power plant. Traditional low alloy steels used in high temperature plant and their integrity are discussed as well as risk-based management issues.

The Joint ASTM-EPRI International Symposium on Creep–Fatigue Interactions:
Test Methods and Models was sponsored jointly by ASTM Committee E08 on Fatigue and Fracture and EPRI was held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel at San Antonio from 17 to 19 November 2010.

There are no procedural standards for the determination of crack growth properties where a reversal of stress is involved. The purpose of this code of practice as described in Materials at High Temperatures is to detail the requirements for fatigue and creep-fatigue short crack growth testing.
