To understand the premature-fracture mechanisms of long-term service damage of an advanced alloy’s (Chinese P92 steel) welded joint, the creep-fatigue (CF) experiments with holding times of 30, 120, 300, 600 and 900 s were individually performed at 923 K. The cyclic softening, inelastic-strain amplitudes and stress-relaxation behaviors were compared between welded and base-metal (BM) specimens. From the results, the failure stage of the welded specimens occupies 45% of the lifetime fraction, while it only takes up 20% of the lifetime fraction in BM specimens with short holding times (30 and 120 s). Furthermore, only two softening stages were observed for both kinds of CF specimens with long holding times. The absence of a third softening stage in longer-held specimens indicates that the processes of macroscopic-crack initiation, propagation and rupture were accelerated. Based on the observation of the fracture surfaces, the fracture mechanism shifted from fatigue-dominated damage to creep-fatigue interaction when the holding period was increased.
