The present paper investigates the effect of creep deformation model of Gr. 91 Steel at 600 °C on creep fracture mechanics parameters. Three types of creep deformation model were considered, i.e. Garofalo’s model and RCC-MRx model for primary-secondary creep region, and modified omega model for primary-secondary-tertiary creep region. The parameters for each creep deformation model were characterized from experiment results. Reference Stress (RS) method was used to estimate creep fracture mechanics parameters, C(t)-integral and COD rate for each creep model. Furthermore, elastic-creep finite element (FE) analyses were carried out to verify the results of RS method. Finally, the effect of creep deformation model was investigated by comparing the results of C(t)-integral and COD rate.
