    Abstract
    One of the yet unresolved engineering problems is forecasting the creep lives of weldment in a pragmatic way with
    sufficient accuracy. There are number of obstacles to circumvent including: complex material behavior, lack of accurate
    knowledge about the creep material behavior specially about the heat affected zones (HAZ),accurate and multi-axial
    creep damage models, etc. In general, creep life forecasting may be categorized into two groups, viz., those that are
    based on microscopic modeling and others that are based on macroscopic (phemenological) concepts. Many different
    micro-structural processes may cause creep damage .The micro-structural processes highlight the fact that the creep
    damages can be due to cavity nucleation and growth. Dislocation creep is another mechanism with micro-structural
    features such as sub-grain formation and growth, new phase formation, such as the Z phase, coarsening leading to the
    dissolution of the MX phase. This leads to the removal of pinning precipitates, which allow local heterogeneous sub-grain
    growth, weakening due to this growth and also to the dissolution of the MX. These features normally lead to the earlier
    formation of tertiary creep and reduced life. Considering welded joints ,the development of models for practical yet
    sufficiently accurate creep life forecasting based on micro-structural modeling becomes even more complicated due to
    variation of material in the base, weld and heat-affected-zone (HAZ) and variation of the micro-structure within HAZ and
    their interactions. So far, and until this date, none of the micro-structural models can forecast the creep life of industrial
    components with sufficient accuracy in an economic manner. There are several macroscopic (phemenological) models for
    creep life forecasting, including: time-fraction rule, strain-fraction rule, the reference stress and skeletal stress method,
    continuum damage model, etc. Each of which has their own limitations .This paper gauges to a multi-axial yet pragmatic
    and simple model for creep life forecasting weldment operating at high temperature and subjected to an elastic-plasticcreep deformation.
