Welded Zones of some Cr-Mo steels are susceptible to the embrittlement when their weldments are used for high temperature services. This embrittlement appears as the phenomena of the low-ductility creep-fracture (LDCP), and the temper-embrittlement induced by creep (TEIC). A system which reproduces those phenomena in laboratory was proposed in this paper. This system was composed of the simulator of weld-thermal-cycle and the machine for creep-loading. The method and conditions for using this system were discussed in detail. Some experiments on the LDCF of 1 1/4Cr-1/2Mo steel proved this system to be very useful for the investigations of the LDCF and TEIC.
