Abstract Creep crack growth (CCG) behavior of type 316LN stainless steel was investigated using C^* and C_t as characterizing fracture parameters under elevated temperatures The CCG tests were conducted under various applied load levels at 600℃. For determining material constants required for calculating the fracture parameters, tension and creep tests were also conducted at 600℃. Results slowed good agreements between the estimated values and measured ones for both of the C^* and C_t. Since the C_t was applicable to transient creep condition as well as extensive creep condition, the C_t was employed in determining a CCG model for 316 LN. Fracture mode near the crack tip was a typical intergranular fracture as shown in the creep tests. The model determined in this study can be used to evaluate creep crack growth life of components made of 316LN steel.
