Introduction
There are more than 300 fossil power units with the capacity
of 300 MW per unit or above;
In 1960s and 1970s, China self designed and manufactured fossil power
units with capacity of 125 MW, 200 MW and 300 MW
In early 1980s, China introduced manufacturing technologies for subcritical 300 MW and 600 MW generation units
At present, the power units under construction are mainly super-critical and
ultra-super-critical units

In 1980, steel T91 was first used in high-temperature superheaters of fossil power plants; In 1983, T91 and P91 were
certified by ASME as Grades SA213-T91 and SA335-P91.
The properties of T/P91 produced in China all meet GB53101995 and ASME SA-213 requirements; But P91 is still not
used as commercial products until now.

Stress
As to the power plant components operated for a long time, creep rupture is
the dominating factor. We can predict life with low part of figure below,
within which exists a saturated value of hold time that has a weak relation
to stress condition, it is to said that it isnt necessary to consider the
influence of unit start up and shut down;
We can use the different hold time under a given maximum stress to
experimentally determine the saturated value, which is the basis of life
prediction for materials for which creep rupture is the dominant failure
mode.

Like other countries, China also mainly adopt a whole life cycle
management strategy for key components of fossil power plants,
which combines offline and online condition assessment;
