This is Part II of a study on two-bar thermal ratcheting for Alloy 617. The ratcheting strains were evaluated for conditions with the same temperature range but with different mean stresses, heating and cooling rates, time delays, and thermal histories. These testing conditions were designed to be closely aligned to the development of design rules for strain limits at very high temperatures for Alloy 617. These new design rules have been formulated to address the fact that the effects of plastic deformation and creep deformation on the ratcheting strains are not separable at very high temperatures for this alloy.
