This study evaluates various nondestructive testing methods for detecting creep damage and assessing residual life in Grade 91 steel welds. Three primary detection techniques were investigated: phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT), eddy current testing with high-temperature superconductor direct current and superconducting quantum interference device (ECT•HTS-dc-SQUID), and replica observation. PAUT detected creep damage between 60-80% of creep life, while ECT•HTS-dc-SQUID showed detection capability between 80-90% of creep life. Replica observation revealed creep voids only in the final stages before rupture. Additionally, three strain measurement methods were evaluated: capacitive strain sensors (providing continuous monitoring during creep exposure), laser displacement meters (used during test interruptions), and SPICA strain measurement. Both capacitive sensors and laser meters produced results comparable to conventional extensometer measurements. The SPICA method proved particularly effective in measuring heat-affected zone (HAZ) strain after creep exposure, revealing higher strain values in the HAZ compared to base and weld metal, with a consistent increase during creep exposure.
