Abstract: Transient creep deformation behavior of the P91 steel under different stress levels at 600 ℃ and 620 ℃ respectively was systematically studied. By coupling the interaction between internal dislocations and precipitated phases in the material during creep process to the internal stress, combined with Orowan equation, the transient creep model parameters were determined by the nonlinear fitting method, and the deformation curve of the P91 steel in the transient creep stage was numerically simulated. The results show that the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data, indicating that it is feasible to apply the model to study the transient creep behavior of the P91 steel. At the same time, combined with the fact that the transient creep time and normalized transient strain depend on the temperature and the stress, it is further confirmed that the transient creep of the P91 steel at 600 ℃ and 620 ℃ respectively and in the stress range of 135-175 MPa is mainly controlled by the dislocation climbing process.
