Researchers proposed the methods of creep-fatigue evaluation, such as time fraction rules or ductility exhaustion rules. However, the microstructure change during creep-fatigue should not be directly considered in these methods. The hysteresis energy contributes to the microstructure change before the crack initiation and the crack initiation and propagation. The creep-fatigue has evaluated by the hysteresis energy in modified 9Cr-1Mo steel which is a candidate for structural material in Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) plant. Creep-fatigue and fatigue tests were carried out at 723-873K in air. The hysteresis energy per hour at the middle of life (Nf / 2, Nf is the number of cycles to failure) has been evaluated. It is clear that the relationship between this parameter and the time to failure can be expressed by the power-law function. The creep-fatigue life can be evaluated based on the hysteresis energy an hour at Nf / 2 using this relation.
