Abstract The long-term reliability of 1.25Cr-0.5Mo steels in high-temperature service critically depends on their creep rupture behavior, which is strongly influenced by alloy composition, microstructural characteristics, and testing conditions. In this study, an advanced Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was developed to accurately predict the creep-rupture life of 1.25Cr-0.5Mo steels, offering a data-driven framework for alloy design and service-life assessment. The model incorporated eleven compositional variables (C, Si, Mn, P, S, Ni, Cr, Mo, Cu, Al, N), average grain size, non-metallic inclusions (NMI), steel properties including hardness measured on the Rockwell B scale (HRB) yield strength… More >
