Abstract
To evaluate the accelerated creep phenomena for ramjet combustor, the stress rupture tests for Inconel 718 alloy were performed at a temperature
range of 649–760 ◦ C and a stress range of 381–1093 MPa. The stress exponent, n, under the given conditions was obtained. Also, the activation
energy, H, was calculated from the experimental results. An empirical formula of accelerated creep rate for Inconel 718 alloy was calculated by
computer simulation. The accelerated creep life of Inconel 718 alloy was evaluated by using Larson–Miller parameter.

where T is absolute temperature and R is the gas constant.
Fig. 5 shows the dependence of creep rate on temperature.
It is seen that the activation energy decreased with increasing
stress. Also, the activation energy can be expressed as a linear
function of stress, and the fitting result is presented in Fig. 6.
Creep deformation is also progressed by thermally where stress exponent (n) and activation enthalpy (H) were
activated process, and activation enthalpy, H, can be already obtained as a function of temperature and stress in
Figs. 4 and 6.
