Creep behavior of high-strength low-alloy steel at elevated temperatures

In this paper experimental data about the creep behavior of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA, ASTM A618) steel are presented. For different elevated temperatures tensile tests are carried out and also for some of the mentioned elevated temperatures uniaxial creep tests for different constant loads are made. The results are useful for determining, e.g., the load-bearing capacity of a structure under fire conditions as well as for its lifetime prediction.
